Il mostro (The Monster) is a 1994 Italian-French comedy film. It stars Roberto Benigni as a man who is mistaken by police profilers for a serial killer due to a misunderstanding about the man's strange behavior. This film was, at the time it came out, the highest-grossing film in Italy, bested later by another Benigni film, Life is Beautiful.
