Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone who wants a laugh and anyone who loves a strong drama. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Shelve it next to We All Loved Each Other So Much or Code 3.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 55 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

An Italian immigrant tries to make a new life in Switzerland, taking on a series of increasingly menial jobs in order to do it. He attempts to fit into his new home and society but fails at every turn. Unable to go home again, will his tenacity and optimism be enough to live on?
