Comícios De Amor

Pasolini dons the uniform of a guerrilla filmmaker, taking to the streets with a microphone in hand to speak about sex with his countrymen. Deeply interested in the times he lived in, Pasolini's "Comizi d’amore" provided a remarkable example of what was then called "cinema-truth." It is an inquiry into sexuality that took Pasolini from the north to the south of Italy with the aim of questioning intellectuals, workers, peasants, soldiers, bourgeois, young, old, children, men, and women, in a film made on the cusp of the great sexual revolution of the 1960s. An unusual documentary object from a creator eternally committed to challenging the limits and conventions of the cinematic medium.
