Romulus and Remus: The Story of Two Sons of a Wolf

About This Movie

So, this 1976 comedy called 'Romulus and Remus: The Story of Two Sons of a Wolf' takes a rather humorous take on the legendary story of Rome's founders. It’s got that quintessential Italian flair, thanks to the Bagaglino group, who inject their comedic style into the historical backdrop. You get a mix of absurdity and charm, especially with Romulus bumping off Remus and then dealing with ghostly family drama. The pacing can be uneven, but it’s part of the charm—there's a laid-back vibe that somehow complements the absurdity of the plot. The performances are lively, with the characters really leaning into their comedic roles, making this a unique, if somewhat offbeat, exploration of a classic tale.

Finding 'Romulus and Remus: The Story of Two Sons of a Wolf' can be a bit tricky—it's not exactly a common title floating around. The film was mostly released on VHS, and there’s a certain charm about those old copies, though they’re becoming harder to track down. Collector interest seems to hinge on the novelty of its comedic approach to a historical story, making it a curious gem for anyone interested in the quirky side of Italian cinema.
