All we have left is the crime, series: plot, cast, episodes, trilogy

Lwith a ramshackle band of All we have left is crime by Massimiliano Bruno arrives tonight at 9.20pm on Sky and NOW. But not with the trilogy, with the series developed from the films, and with a slightly different lineup: they go out Alessandro Gassman and Edoardo Leoenter Giampaolo Morelli next to Marco Giallini and Gian Marco Tognazzi.

Someone will remember the films (All We Have Left is Crime, Back to Crime and Once Upon a Time There Was Crime). In the series the big group broken down broken down takes a leap back to the seventies of the dispute. Between protest, student movement, feminists, alternative freaks and the attempt of the subversive right and the secret services to suffocate everything.

All we have left is the crime, the series: the plot

After finding out he was adopted, Giuseppe (Gian Marco Tognazzi) wants to know his real mother (Linda) – of which he keeps a photo dating back to 1970. By stealing the scientist’s password Gianfranco (Massimiliano Bruno) makes the space-time leap and manages to meet her in the house of Donato Casati (Maurizio Lastrico). With Giuseppe there are also Moreno (Marco Giallini) and Claudio (Giampaolo Morelli) (Claudio), who have decided to chase him and bring him back to 2023 to recover the common money (to which they have access through their three passwords).

Here they are grappling with the protest and with the hipster and feminist environment (all mixed up, which didn’t happen in 1970, but it doesn’t matter). Giuseppe finds Linda, who has a little Giuseppe (called Govinda) in her arms. To save her from an attack, however, he changes the past and consequently changes the present.

Thus today’s Italy becomes a fascist dictatorship and the three will have to go back in time again to put things right. It will be their task to face the background of the time, the darkest passages of the Republic, like the coup attempt by Prince Junio ​​Valerio Borghese.

The cast of actors

Marco Giallini is Moreno, the most cynical of the group. In 2023 he lives in a luxurious house without doing anything, with his father (Paolo), a politically engaged former worker, who accuses him of having enrichment as his sole aim, a value that he fought against. Gian Marco Tognazzi is Giuseppea rather unscrupulous but dissatisfied accountant. He goes back in time to see himself as a child and understand why his mother abandoned him. When he finds her, he will do anything to protect her.

Claudio (Giampiero Morelli) is a precarious teacher, unrealistic writer, who is about to marry a rich heiress from the publishing world. Jumping back to 1970 he finds himself on a table next to Alberto Moravia and Enno Flaiano who ridicule him.

His frustration will push him towards the subversive right. Massimiliano Bruno he is the scientist who, having changed the present, finds himself in a dictatorship with his assistant who has become a government spy. Maurizio Lastrico he is a rich bourgeois with progressive ideas.

Plot largely exploited but well acted

The series is well acted by the four seasoned actors and the lesser-known ones. The subject, with the “back to the future” mechanism now widely exploited, it is a source of funny situations and dialogues even if you have already seen them: they who anticipated the popularity of tiramisu by 10 years and called it “facciodame”, who already knew the result of the legendary match Italy Germany 4 to 3, the aspiring writer who exposed the theme of the The Name of The roseby Eco, but is ridiculed.

The reconstructions of the era and the characters always have a somewhat fictional tone. Jumping back more than fifty years, however, allows younger people to learn about some disturbing episodes of Italy at the time, such as the failed Borghese coup, historical event, almost farcical. The series asks the question: what would have happened if that dastardly coup attempt had succeeded?

All we have left is crime, the trilogy

The series takes inspiration from All we have left is crime and its two sequels starring Giallini and Tognazzi, Edoardo Leo and Alessandro Gassman. Moreno, Sebastiano and Giuseppe, long-time friends, make ends meet by offering a tour to discover the symbolic places of the Magliana band. During a coffee break they find themselves catapulted into 1982, the year of World Cup football match won by Italy against Spain.

The three decide to use their football knowledge to make money. However, they clash with the Magliana gang (the character of Renatino, played by Edoardo Leo) clearly refers to De Pedis, the Magliana boss who was buried in the basilica of Sant’Apollinare, which in the film houses the gang’s treasure.

In the first sequel Return to crime, the four meet together for “pijasse Montecarlo”. There is an antiques dealer who sells fake paintings, with a daughter, Loretta Heather, who has a barcode tattooed on her bottom that opens the hiding place of the treasure of the Banda della Magliana, which Renatino De Pedis is also targeting. But there is Van Gogh, a Camorra member who wants to steal “his” self-portrait from the antique dealer and for this purpose kidnaps his daughter.

In the third chapter, Once upon a time there was crimewe skip to 1943. Renatino wants to steal the Mona Lisa from the French. The gang is catapulted into World War II. The protagonists pretend to be SS soldiers, take possession of the Mona Lisa but are discovered and chased by the Nazis. Moreno finds refuge at his grandmother Adele’s house, where Monica, her mother, lives, who disappears in a German van.

The four set off in search of Monica, meet a group of partisans (with Sandro Pertini) and are found in the place where Mussolini is imprisoned.
