Dino Risis Il Sorpasso (1962), starring Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant, is the definitive commedia allitaliana: a dazzling, tragicomic road movie about two mismatched men drifting through summer Italy. Beneath its breezy humour lies a biting social portrait of post-war consumerism and moral emptiness a landmark of European cinema.

A career highlight for director Dino Risi and his star Vittorio Gassman, Il sorpasso isnt just one of the heights of commedia allitaliana but of all Italian cinema. Jean-Louis Trintignant (The Conformist) plays Roberto, a shy law student who meets Bruno (Gassman), a larger-than-life Roman playboy who convinces Roberto to join him on a road trip from Rome to the Tuscan countryside. Their travels teach them about each other and themselves, oscillating between comedy and tragedy with powerful and affecting commentary on the easy life. Long admired in Italy, the film has influenced comedic filmmakers including Alexander Payne (Sideways) and Aziz Ansari (Master of None). Radiance Films is proud to present this seminal film in the UK for the first time from a new 4K restoration.
