Love Meetings
Pier Paolo Pasolini sets out to interview Italians about sex, apparently their least favorite thing to talk about in public: he asks children if they know where do babies come from; asks old and young women if they support gender equality; asks both sexes if a woman's virginity still matters, what do they think of homosexuality, if divorce should be legal, or if they support the recent abolition of brothels. He interviews blue-collar workers, intellectuals, college students, rural farmers, the bourgeoisie, and every other kind of people, painting a vivid portrait of a rapidly-industrializing Italy, hanging between modernity and tradition — toward both of which Pasolini shows equal distrust.
Caprice Italian Style
The film consists of six short stories created by different directors, but all the stories share one thing: a warm irony to current events.
Funeralopolis: A Suburban Portrait
Between Bresso, Sesto San Giovanni and Milan, we immerse ourselves in the lives of Vash and Felce, who together make music, do heroin and share everything. Their reality is sometimes brutal, often comical, tragic and romantic.
The Ancines Woods
Benito Freire, a pedlar in a small village in northern Spain suffers from epileptic seizures and rumours start to spread that he may be a werewolf and responsible for a series of killings. The local Abbot is called upon to form a team to investigate, in an effort to halt the harrowing murders.
