Fascists on Mars (Fascisti su Marte) is a satirical Italian film directed by Corrado Guzzanti and Igor Skofic, released in 2006. The movie is a parody of fascist propaganda films and explores themes of authoritarianism, absurdity, and blind nationalism. Set in the 1930s, the film follows a fictional mission to colonize Mars led by an overzealous group of Italian Fascists, spearheaded by Commander Barbagli, played by Guzzanti himself. The crew embarks on their journey with an exaggerated sense of patriotism and imperial ambition, believing they are bringing civilization to the red planet. However, their grandiose plans quickly spiral into chaos as they encounter the planet's barren landscape and their own incompetence. Shot in black and white, the film mimics the aesthetics of 20th-century propaganda cinema, complete with bombastic narration and intentionally dated special effects. Its biting humor critiques not only the Fascist ideology of the past but also the modern-day echoes of authoritarianism and nationalism. Fascists on Mars blends historical parody with sharp political commentary, making it a unique and thought-provoking work of satire that holds a special place in Italian cinema.
