Love Meetings (1965)
Original title: Comizi d'amore
Love Meetings is a 1965 Italian-language documentary movie directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, with a running time of 1h 28m. It stars Pier Paolo Pasolini, Lello Bersani and Alberto Moravia.
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 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.
