''Qualunquemente'' is a 2011 Italian satirical comedy film starring comedian Antonio Albanese as his famous character Cetto La Qualunque, a sleazy Southern Italy politician. The title means "whichever-ly" (adding ungrammatical adverbial endings is a shtick of the main character). It was released in Italy on 600 copies on January 21, 2011 and was screened in the Main Programme of the Panorama section at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival. == Plot == Corrupt and sleazy entrepreneur Cetto La Qualunque comes back to Italy and "jumps into politics" lest his law-abiding opponent, Giovanni De Santis, is elected as mayor. Cetto La Qualunque is an entrepreneur from Calabria, a region in the South of Italy; he's very crude and vulgar, an embodiment of the Southern Italian society, also represented by corrupted politicians, administrators and auditors. While being a fugitive from the law in a Latin American country, Cetto met a beautiful girl, whom he calls ''"cosa"'' (a particular word in Italy like "you" for calling people whom name are not remembered or irrelevant) (comparing her to an object); he conceived a daughter with her whose name he does not even remember. When Cetto gets back to his hometown of Marina di Sopra, in Calabria, his wife goes on a rampage after seeing his concubine alongside her husband. Cetto also has a son named Melo (Carmelo) who lived with his mother while he was away, and who is awkward and shy. After Cetto makes his triumphal come back to his house, which looks like a typical mafia mansion, he goes to his club in the nearby town, where he meets his friends who support him in every wickedness he commits. Cetto also owns a campsite, wrongly named "Paradais Village" instead of "Paradise Village", a very poor and shabby place. During the meeting, his friends also tell him about his hated neighbour De Santis's intention to run for Mayor of Marina di Sopra, to improve the economic and cultural plight of the people, since almost every of them is poor peasants. Hearing this news, Cetto decides to run for Mayor of the town. He does everything possible to be voted by the people of the town, but his ignorance and narrow-mindedness does not impress journalists and reporters, so Cetto is forced to call a manager, Jerry Salerno, from Bari but living most recently in Milan. Cetto just sees it as a repentant Mafia since he left the South of Italy to go to the North, because even today in Italy there is still a lot of hatred among the citizens who live in the North and those who are in the South. Cetto begins the campaign with Jerry, using tricks, cheating and deceit against the ignorant people of Marina di Sopra. Meanwhile Cetto also tries to make his son a man, forcing him to leave his girlfriend because she is not curvy enough; together the two of them go hunting illegally in protected areas, shoot at mannequins that resemble black men, and finally he makes Melo have sex with his favorite prostitute. Whatever the right arm with his friend John "The Stranger" (as Cetto is the Calabria while he was the Apulia) divorces his wife Carmela and plans to marry his new girlfriend from South America, and then sends to jail son Melo. In fact, the policeman Cavallaro is by years trying to send to jail Cetto, because of his abusive homes and its contacts with the Mafia, but he had no proof, and when he discovers that Cetto has a building permit of his pizzeria, this abusive comes into the house to arrest him, but Cetto has changed the document to the local making his son the owner and sending him to prison. This way, he has the opportunity to continue his campaign. Meanwhile his wife Concetta believes her husband to be a real heartless monster and leaves, while Cetto is preparing to hold its election speech in the square, and he promises procurement and abolition of taxes, but also guarantees the arrival of many prostitutes that he commonly nicknamed "pilu" (female pubic hair, south italian slang for "pussy"). Thanks to Jerry and corruption of the reporter Claogero, Cetto knocks the good intentions of De Santis and is elected mayor of Marina di Sopra. While he's partying, Jerry leaves Italy and brings with him the Brazilian girl to give her a dignified life and to provide the little daughter a good education. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Qualunquemente」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
