Whatsoeverly

• Comedy

Whatsoeverly delivers a relentlessly cynical and darkly humorous satire of Italian politics, following the spectacularly unscrupulous Cetto La Qualunque as he reluctantly returns home to exploit a loophole and run for mayor. Unlike typical political comedies focused on idealistic underdogs, this film revels in the protagonist’s complete lack of morality, portraying a man who views civic duty as an inconvenience and campaigning as a series of increasingly absurd schemes. The humor isn’t derived from witty dialogue but from the sheer audacity of Cetto’s behavior and the film's unflinching depiction of a system ripe for exploitation, leaning heavily into vulgarity and societal critique. It’s a bracingly uncomfortable and wildly entertaining look at power, corruption, and the questionable choices of those who wield it, wrapped in a visually chaotic and deliberately unrefined aesthetic.
