Bye Bye Monkey

In the heart of New York City, Gérard Depardieu and Marcello Mastroianni star as two foreign eccentrics decaying in a surreal, rat-infested world. While walking along the Hudson River, Luigi (Mastroianni) discovers the corpse of King Kong. He also finds a newborn monkey and brings him to his friend Lafayette (Depardieu), who decides to raise the infant as his own. Marco Ferreri’s first English-language feature, Bye Bye Monkey co-stars James Coco and Geraldine Fitzgerald and ranks among the most symbolic and bizarre works from Italy’s “King of the Bizarre.” Includes the Bonus Excerpt from the documentary “Marco Ferreri: The Director Who Came from the Future”
