“Qui rido io” (The King of Laughter) is a 2021 film directed by Mario Martone that revisits the life of the king of Neapolitan comedians, the great actor and playwright Eduardo Scarpetta, played here by Toni Servillo.
Scarpetta, the biological father of Titina, Eduardo and Peppino De Filippo, dedicated his life to theater, creating works that have become timeless classics, such as “Miseria e nobiltà”. He achieved great success and was the protagonist of a great dispute with Gabriele D’Annunzio for “The Son of Iorio”, a parody of the poet’s work who was at the center of a memorable trial.
In Neapolitan with English subtitles.
