Il disco volante is a 1964 Italian comic science fiction film with mockumentary elements directed by Tinto Brass and starring Alberto Sordi. The film features the renowned comedian in four distinct roles as a dim-witted Carabinieri brigadiere, a cheesepairing accountant, a decadent count, and an alcoholic priest. Involving characters from different social strata, Il disco volante is effectively a satire of the Italian society, particularly the people of Brass's adopted home region Veneto. [1]
The sergeant of the Carabinieri of a Venetian village is charged with carrying out investigations on the arrival of a UFO of extraterrestrial origin. During the investigation he finds himself questioning a group of people who claim to have actually seen the Martians. In truth, only Vittoria, a poor widowed peasant with numerous children, manages to get hold of a Martian, which she sells to her effeminate master. His mother, however, suppresses the Martian, accuses the peasant woman of fraud and sends her son to an asylum. Here, sooner or later, other characters involved in the story will also arrive, most recently the sergeant himself, because they are all considered visionaries. The sensational event is therefore soon buried in general indifference.
