Synopsis

Garrone's follow-up to the 2008 Grand Prix winner movie GOMORRAH is a neo-realist, hilarious critique of reality TV. Set in a fishing village in Naples, the ordinary life of garrulous fishmonger Luciano takes a dramatic turn when he auditions for Italian reality TV Big Brother. There begins not a road to fame but a blue-collar misadventure ending in the man's near-insanity as Luciano becomes obsessed with television celebrity and eventually the show invades into his life. Un-reality is often larger than real life and the film is compared to Martin Scorsese's KING OF COMEDY for its satirical note to the trajectory of a person trying to achieve fame and the intangibles for all the wrong reasons.

故事簡介

真人騷做極唔完，皆因現實平凡枯燥。意大利拿波利漁村的胖魚販天天劏魚，閒時吹水打斧頭，也會扮鬼扮馬娛己娛人。一次婚宴上出位反串扮皇后博來賓一笑，風頭卻被熱播真人騷「大哥大」的人氣新星搶去。心有不甘誓要發圍，把心一橫參加「大哥大」試鏡。奪冠後人氣急升，然而平凡的生活被假象蠶蝕，現實與電視騷真假難分，成名的壓力讓人透不過氣，胖魚販徘徊崩潰邊緣。導演前作《Gomorra》影射政治，寫實到肉，今次展現小人物為了成名走上不歸路、笑中有淚的故事，與馬田史高西斯的《喜劇之王》不遑多讓。
