Love Meetings

Pier Paolo Pasolini embarks on an enlightening yet provocative journey as he delves into the complexities of Italian society's attitudes towards sex in his documentary-style film. Through a series of candid interviews, Pasolini confronts various segments of Italian society with thought-provoking questions about gender equality, sexuality, and societal norms. He engages children in discussions on reproduction, seeks opinions from both genders on matters like virginity and homosexuality, and even addresses the legal aspects of divorce and the recent abolishment of brothels.Pasolini's conversations traverse diverse social strata – from blue-collar workers to intellectuals, college students to rural farmers, and the bourgeoisie. By capturing these intimate exchanges, he paints an illuminating portrait of a rapidly industrializing Italy teetering on the brink of modernity while grappling with deeply ingrained traditions. Throughout this compelling exploration, Pasolini himself demonstrates an equal distrust for both progress and tradition, shedding light on the underlying tensions that define this transitional period in Italian history.
