Il Bisbetico Domato is a 1980 Italian comedy directed by Castellano And Pipolo and starring Adriano Celentano.
The protagonist, Elia, is a grumpy 40-year-old farmer who has always despised marriage: however, when he meets the beautiful Lisa (portrayed by Ornella Muti), he will have to face his own feelings.
Loosely based on The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare.
Il Bisbetico Domato contains examples of:
- Deadpan Snarker: Elia has a handful of these moments throughout the movie.
- Hates Everyone Equally: Elia, the main character, is a misanthrope who hates almost any kind of social interaction. The only people he is comfortable with are his housekeeper and the priest of the town.
- The Simple Life is Simple: Inverted. At one point in the movie, Lisa decides that she wants to adapt to farm life and impress Elia, but she fails miserably.
