Action (1980 film)

Action is a 1980 Italian black comedy directed by Tinto Brass. The film is reminiscent of the directors earlier avantgarde lowbudget works such as The Howl and Nerosubianco.

Bruno Martel Luc Merenda is a Z movie actor with hero syndrome, often quarrelling with directors. He meets Doris Susanna Javicoli an actress who is obsessed with Ophelia but cannot get any Shakespearean bookings. One day, during a nervous breakdown, Bruno rescues Doris from the set, leaving the town to encounter various absurd situations. They meet an old anarchist Alberto Sorrentino who thinks he is Giuseppe Garibaldi and the three are locked at a mental asylum where Doris commits suicide. Bruno and Garibaldi escape and take refuge at an awkward petrol station run by Florence Adriana Asti and her invalid husband Joe Alberto Lupo.
