Bye Bye Monkey
Marco Ferreri: Beyond the Absurd
June 9 - 21, 2023
In Ferreri’s first film shot in the United States, Gérard Depardieu and Marcello Mastroianni star as two men trying to understand the world in which they live and coping with the decline of man and the rise of woman.
New York City, a bleak season. Gérard Lafayette finds a young monkey by the seashore, and decides to raise him as his own child. Ciao maschio (literally “Goodbye, Male”) is the Italian title of the first film shot in the United States by Ferreri with two of his emblematic actors: the young Gérard Depardieu and an aging Marcello Mastroianni. In this tale of two men trying to understand the world in which they live, Ferreri seems to acknowledge the death of all male figures and the rise of feminine characters stronger than ever. 35mm print from Cinecittà.
