After L'estate di Giacomo and I tempi felici verranno presto, his previous feature films, Alessandro Comodin has established himself as one of the most important auteurs in contemporary European cinema. And, more importantly, one of the most entertaining. In Gigi La Legge we follow the adventures and misadventures of the policeman after whom the film is named. He patrols a small Italian village where nothing much happens, until a young girl throws herself under a train. Is there a wave of suicides? This "picaresque comic documentary" throws us into a world where empathy and fantasy are synonymous.

Gigi La Legge premiered at the Locarno Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize.
