Totally unawares, Saverio, a teacher and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They carry with them an unresolved squabble concerning Saverio’s sister, creating a lot of tension between the two, which will increase in the plot. From this moment on they will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation they find themselves in, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fools of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. Their meeting with Leonardo da Vinci is hysterical, when they become more and more convinced that the genius is in reality a moron. Another character they meet is Savonarola the heretic, who enjoins them to repent, before he is taken to the stake, eliciting some breezy comment from them. If it weren’t for a weird kind of homesickness, they would quite enjoy living in this period, full of daring fashions and tantalising damsels.
The couple shows great chemistry and is funny in every respect. The psychology of their characters is complex and credible - for once comical roles with a depth. Basically, Saverio is an embittered petit-bourgeois forever attracted and rejected by women, envious of Mario, an easy-going proletarian every woman falls in love with. Saverio is scheming, mean and vindictive as much as Mario is naive, generous and forgiving. What a match of talents: Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi at the peak of combined creativity. Too bad they will never come back together for another joint venture. Or maybe it is better this way: masterpieces of this level cannot be improved on, at best they can be imitated. For this reason Non ci resta che piangere will shine like a gem in the crown of the best Italian movies of all times. Sadly not many people seem to have seen it, not even in Italy, where the viewers do not need subtitles to enjoy the hilarious juggling of the two actors with the language, but their body language can be universally appreciated.
If you miss it you will have to repent!
20 years. Still remember every minute of that morning. This is recorded from live theater. Fantastic acting.
作为一个有些抗拒Musical的人难得喜欢上的作品，虽然非常美式正能量，但是群像叙事、舞台演绎和main theme实在加分很多，在这样的日子感动于一些人性的美好也不错
老中青三代精彩绝伦的歌唱演绎，在百老汇上演。
真的很工整！就算是女性性幻想又咋的啦？我们放开爽了就好了啊！（话说这样优质的鸭哪里找？）
五星。真好，舞台剧的魅力，荧幕电影给不了，荧幕电影的优势，舞台剧也比不上。它们没有优劣之分，当这两种艺术载体从平行线交汇到一起时，就有了《来自远方》，很多没有机会条件看现场舞台剧的观众，可以通过一块相对廉价的屏幕，体验到之前难得的体验。
上帝为阻止人类团结共筑巴别塔，创造了不同语言，然而却又用共同编码的圣经，打破了自己打造的藩篱。
"A powerful celebration of humanity."
8.5/10
有点过于童话了 但这么温柔舒适的小品多多益善
find you pleasure and enjoy it❤️
疫情前看的最後一部音樂劇，緊湊又聰明的結構。最愛On the Bus。
Apple TV選擇911的20週年上映，很明智。再看一遍，很加拿大。很多元，很雞湯，很人性。All we need is love

哇哦，十分！必须满分！这是女性向的电影，它说出了我说不出的欲望，渴望性爱，多么自然的需求，却被羞于出口。25岁的女孩也羞愧于自己的身体，在床笫之间不敢展露自己，对身材的不自信。天呐，这就是我在挣扎的事情，我想要减少自己的不自信，只是一直做不到。这个电影帮我说出来了。
Jenn Coletta真的太绝了呜呜呜。
220508，在这个疫情严峻的当下，在隔离的房间里，这部电影给了我太多的喜悦、感动与希冀。第一次看这样的百老汇音乐剧录像，真的是绝好的现代艺术啊，一方小小的舞台，简单的布景与道具，却生动地表现了这样一个饱满的故事，厉害厉害。
I am an islander 来自陌生人的善意是这个世界的基石～女机长的独唱～旅途相遇的中年情侣的对唱等几首令人印象深刻
妈妈别怪我乱花钱，来了美国只要花钱啥都能看到，这能怪我吗？
看了一半实在忍不下去了。americanism epitome and condescending PC. 用圣经与黑人交流的桥段令人反胃
此刻我们说着相同的语言，哇，那一瞬间觉得信仰好伟大。陌生人释放善意而产生的羁绊真美好
