- Summary:
- "In this radically engaged and engaging documentary, Pier Paolo Pasolini takes to the streets, town squares, beaches, factories, and universities of 1960s Italy to solicit everyday citizens' thoughts on a host of hot-button subjects, including sex work, gender equality, homosexuality, and divorce (then illegal in Italy). What emerges is both a kaleidoscopic cross section of faces and places-from the industrialized cities of the North to the rural villages of the South-and an incisive portrait of a society where, despite the rapid modernization brought on by the postwar "economic miracle," hypocrisy, repression, and conformism still hold sway."--Publisher's website.
