Bye Bye Monkey (Italian: Ciao maschio, French: Rêve de singe) is a 1978 Italian-French film, directed by Marco Ferreri and starring Gérard Depardieu, Marcello Mastroianni, James Coco and Geraldine Fitzgerald. It is about a man who finds a baby chimpanzee in a giant King Kong prop and decides to raise it like a son. It was filmed in English and shot in Long Island, New York. As this was a French-Italian co-production, French and Italian dubbed versions were made for their respective countries' theatrical releases.

Synopsis

Lafayette (Gérard Depardieu) est un jeune électricien qui vit à New York, mais il n’en fréquente que trois repères : le Musée de Cire de la Rome Antique, de Flaxman (James Coco) où il travaille, un petit théâtre géré par des féministes, son appartement en sous-sol infesté de rats. Un matin, il remarque dans la rue des individus vêtus de combinaisons blanches, il prend peur alors que ce ne sont que des dératisateurs. Au théâtre, les femmes préparent un spectacle dans lequel il est question du viol d’un homme. Lafayette, mal à l’aise durant ces répétitions, provoque quelque peu les comédiennes qui décident de le violer réellement. Cet acte de violence est accompli par Angélica (Gail Lawrence) qui par ailleurs est amoureuse de lui.

Une parodie de western représentant la bataille de Little Big Horn (1876) menée par le général Custer, le film est tourné sur le chantier du futur Forum des Halles dans le centre de Paris des années soixante-dix en lieu et place de la destruction des pavillons Baltard. Dans cette farce anachronique, le général Custer veut parquer et exterminer les Indiens devenus résistants aux persécutions. Marie-Hélène de Boismonfrais, tout de blanc vêtue, est séduite par Custer. Elle symbolise « la femme blanche » que Mitch, l'éclaireur indien de Custer, ne doit pas toucher. Buffalo Bill y joue les trublions.
