CHThe Monster (1994) was, at the time it came out, the highest-grossing film in Italy, bested later by another Roberto Benigni film, Life Is Beautiful (1997) (Life is Beautiful).

Scholars, on the other hand, see the film as attack on the “conformity” and “compulsory consumption” brought about by Silvio Berlusconi’s media society within a discussion of #RobertoBenigni’s roots in the Commedia dell’arte and a reflection on the often repeated comparison of Benigni with Buster Keaton.” Benigni has also been compared to Charles Chaplin, with the ending of The Monster (1994) being compared to the ending of Modern Times (1936).
