My Brother in LawMY BROTHER IN LAW 
(Mio Cognato)

2003, Running time: 90 min
Directed by Alessandro Piva and starring Sergio Rubini (The Talented Mr Ripley) and Luigi Lo Cascio (The Hundred Steps)

A fast paced comedy from director Alessandro Piva (THE HEAD IS SPINNING) teaming two bickering brothers-in-law on a seemingly hopeless pursuit. While gathered together for a christening, mild-mannered yuppie Vito (Luigi Lo Cascio) discovers that his new car has been stolen. He and his brash, somewhat sleazy brother-in-law, Toni (Sergio Rubini) set off on the thieves trail. Toni, it turns out, already has his own trouble with a local gangster. Lo Cascio and Rubini make an hilarious odd couple, and Piva's screenplay (co-written with his brother Andrea and Salvatore De Mola) keeps the action crisp, and the dialogue sharp.
