A half serious diary about Bisio's Asini.

"This is a strange film that was stolen from cinema. It is the fruit of a close encounter with the comic talent of Claudio Bisio, a half serious log of the seven weeks of shooting of his latest film, Asini. This film is an irresistible document on his work in building comic scenes based on the improvisation of the actors. There is the truth of cinema and total fiction. The digital handycam persons almost always move at an «impolite» distance, a few centimeters from the actors' faces. The actors are very good at ignoring their presence except when they give us the gift of an improvised and searing look into the camera. It is a comic film and a «making of» film that breathes that extremely loony and laughter-packed air that we hope is contagious" (Gianluca Fumagalli).
