地中海

获奥斯卡最佳外语片奖的意大利喜剧，由盖布．瑞尔沙瓦导演。故事背景是二次世界大战期间，八名意大利军人带着一头驴子奉命驻守在爱琴海上的一个希腊小岛。当地有如与世隔绝的世外桃源，镇上居民根本感受不到战争气氛。不久之后，这支军队也忘却了他们的任务，跟镇民打成一片，以举行足球赛作为消遣，或是为村中教堂作壁画，或是追寻爱情，不一而足。直至接近大战尾声，一艘军舰前来接载他们回国，才惊悉他们舍不得离开这个人间天堂。全片故事性不强，但闲适的生活感觉和轻松有趣的笑料却令观众获得愉快的观赏感受，并在谈笑间表达了反战的主题。

Greek Sea, World War II. An Italian ship leaves a handful of soldiers in a little island; their mission is to spot enemy ships and to hold the island in case of attack. The village of the island seems abandoned and there isn't a single enemy in sight, so the soldiers begin to relax a little. Actually, the island isn't deserted and when the Greeks understand that those Italians are harmless, they came out of their hiding places in the mountains and continue their peaceful lives. Soon the soldiers discover that being left behind in a God-forgotten Greek island isn't such a bad thing, after all...
