The spectacular virtuosity of Tot\u00f2: he plays six characters, the murdered man and the five prime suspects<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more macabre comedic impulses of the “prince of laughter”, in a thriller adorned with comedy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Totalmente Tot\u00f2<\/em>, one of the most compelling books recently published about the great Neapolitan actor, Alberto Anile writes: “Tot\u00f2 Diabolicus<\/em> is an exercise in virtuosity. In some films the actor played three different parts, here he plays six. A murder mystery with a dash of horror thrown in. For want of a better word: a thriller. Tot\u00f2 Diabolicus<\/em> opens with the discovery of Tot\u00f2’s grinning corpse, and continues with a series of murders of characters usually played by the actor. It is a totally new kind of experience, while at the same time recalling the more macabre atmospheres the “Tot\u00f2” character was accustomed to inhabiting in his youth. Revitalised by an injection of black comedy, Tot\u00f2 regains some of his sadistic nature that went largely unexplored in his cinema.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tot\u00f2 becomes six: a marquis is mysteriously murdered, and the guilty party could be one of his five siblings: a general, a surgeon, a baroness, a bishop, a convict. Who will it be?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16761,"template":"","project-category":[33],"project-genre":[48],"class_list":["post-16763","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-category-cinema-en","project-genre-comedy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
