The look of Wang (L'arrivo di Wang)

Much like an overextended "Twilight Zone" episode but nevertheless ideal for fun, Italian low-budgeter "The look of Wang" works together with an amusing sci-fi premise. Written and helmed by brothers and sisters Antonio and Marco Manetti ("Zora la vampira"), story involves an expert Italian translator approached for just about any highly improbable assignment that tests her concepts and sense of trust. Pic should turn a modest profit in your town but won't reach much style offshore, even though it could garner a little recognition in ancillary. Rome resident Gaia (Francesca Cuttica) is summoned by government agent Curti (Ennio Fantastichini) to translate Mandarin into Italian someplace so secret she's blindfolded in route. Then, she's not necessarily allowed to find out Wang (voiced by Li Yong), the person she's interpretation for, making the job doubly difficult. Calculates Wang's really an alien from another planet, who correctly learned Mandarin after identifying it absolutely was most likely probably the most broadly spoken language in the world. Disgusted within the rough treatment Curti and Co. hands out, Gaia tries to free Wang, there's however another twist available. Cheap but cheerful effects enhance pic's pleasingly schlocky feel.
