BYE BYE MONKEY (1978) - Sadly unable to find an American theatrical distributor when initially released, director Marco Ferreri's visual treatise on gender roles and human civilization - while often inscrutable - is kept afloat by sympathetic performances and startling visuals. Gerard Depardieu - who was perhaps the most daring actor working circa the late-'70s - is once again totally uninhibited as a man who finds a baby monkey in the shadow of the World Trade Center and decides to raise it as his own; Marcello Mastroianni has several touching moments as a sexually frustrated misfit who has become disillusioned with America; while James Coco is properly imperious as a wax museum proprietor interested in preserving a certain type of masculinity. Multi-layered and heavily symbolic (and with enough nudity and sex to easily qualify for a 1978 X-rating), this one is for connoisseurs of the offbeat and those who miss the good old days of intellectual arthouse cinema.
