Comizi d'amore - Love Meetings (1965)
While looking for the
right set for his film Il Vangelo secondo Matteo (The
Gospel According to St Matthew,
1964), Pier Paolo Pasolini embarks on a journey throughout
Italy and, driven by restless curiosity and a deep passion, he gives
life to Comizi d'amore (Love Meetings).
Equipped only with his
microphone, Pasolini explores the most diverse social environments,
traveling the Peninsula from north to south, and asking for Italians'
opinions about sexuality, love, eroticism: farmers, workers,
students, housewives, actors, writers, nobody is spared. He thereby
provides us with a photography of the Country at the beginning of the
1960s (it was 1963, the film-documentary will be released in 1965).
