Totally unawares, Saverio, a teacher and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They carry with them an unresolved squabble concerning Saverio's sister, creating a lot of tension between the two, which will increase in the plot. From this moment on they will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation they find themselves in, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fool[ZiYuantun.Com]s of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. Their meeting with Leonardo da Vinci is hysterical, when they become more and more convinced that the genius is in reality a moron. Another character they meet is Savonarola the heretic, who enjoins them to repent, before he is taken to the stake, eliciting some breezy comment from them. If it weren't for a weird kind of homesickness, they would quite enjoy living in this period, full of daring fashions and tantalising damsels. The couple shows great chemistry and is funny in every respect. The psychology of their characters is complex and credible - for once comical roles with a depth. Basically, Saverio is an embittered petit-bourgeois forever attracted and rejected by women, envious of Mario, an easy-going proletarian every woman falls in love with. Saverio is scheming, mean and vindictive as much as Mario is naive, generous and forgiving. What a match of talents: Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi at the peak of combined creativity. Too bad they will never come back together for another joint venture. Or maybe it is better this way: masterpieces of this level cannot be improved on, at best they can be imitated. For this reason Non ci resta che piangere will shine like a gem in the crown of the best Italian movies of all times. Sadly not many people seem to have seen it, not even in Italy, where the viewers do not need subtitles to enjoy the hilarious juggling of the two actors with the language, but their body language can be universally appreciated. If you miss it you will have to repent! 译文(3): 萨韦里奥（Saverio）是一名教师，马里奥（Mario）是他们工作的同一所学校的看门人，他们完全没有意识到，回到了15世纪末的意大利中{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。他们带着一场未解决的关于萨维里奥妹妹的争吵，在两人之间制造了许多紧张，这将在剧情中增加。从这一刻起，他们将不得不面对他们发现自己所处的荒诞处境，试图“摆脱”；挂接升降机”；以一种最奇怪的方式回到未来，使用和误用他们对当时发生的事件的预见，并在“人”的眼中愚弄自己；“正常”；文艺复兴时期的人们。当他们越来越相信这位天才实际上是个白痴时，他们与达芬奇的会面是歇斯底里的。他们遇到的另一个角色是异教徒萨沃纳罗拉（Savonarola），他命令他们在他被押上火刑柱之前忏悔，引起他们的一些轻松评论。如果不是因为一种奇怪的乡愁，他们会很享受生活在这个充满大胆时尚和诱人女郎的时代。
