Sadly Over-hyped
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreWell, at last italian producers are selling Attila on DVD, now. No doubt, you can't miss it if you like the early movies of Diego Abatantuomo, here at his "top". Must understand italian very well, though, as most of dialogues are in Abatantuomo's great dialect :-)
View MoreYes, this is film may be seen as trash, it's certainly a b-movie, but I think it needs to be put in the right context.Most friends aged between 30 and 35 still remember most of the gags by memory and every time we talk about films at the pub, when we get to Italian commedies, it is mentioned (and everyone starts repeating all the gags).I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Italian guys, from at least one generation, that consider this film a cult.I agree, however, that if you don't fit in the above group you will just find it plainly stupid.For what is worth, I think that the film has been re-mastered and that it should be available (at least in Italy)
View MoreCAMP,TRASH,CULT.closer to a student movie than a film production, this is the "Scary Movie" of the Blair Witch Projects. extremely rare to find in any form,even bootleg,it exists only in original "live feed" italian and was removed when the then producer and now mass media master "got" the girl that stars as attila's wife,who's often naked in the film.
View MoreThis is one of the best examples of trash movies ever made. It's the story of Attila, king of Huns, revisited in a typical Italian-comedy style. Thus, Attila becomes a weird barbarian, speaking with a strong, irresistible southern accent, who, heading a small group of even stranger individuals, try to conquer Rome and to destroy the Roman empire. The film is an uninterrupted sequence of gags, not very refined but really, really effective. A must-see, a masterpiece which unfortunately has only been shot in Italian (I think).
