Love and Anger

Directed by Jean-Luc Godard, Marco Bellocchio, Carlo Lizzani, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Bernardo Bertolucci

Written by Piero Badalassi, Puccio Pucci, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Bernardo Bertolucci, Carlo Lizzani

Five short stories with contemporary settings. In New York, people are indifferent to derelicts sleeping on sidewalks, to a woman's assault in front of an apartment building, and to a couple injured in a car crash. A man, stripped of his identity, dies in bed with actors expressing his agony. A cheerful, innocent young man walking a city street in a time of war pays a price for this innocence. A couple talks about cinema while it watches another couple talk of love and truth on the eve of one character's return to Cuba. Striking students take over a university classroom; an argument follows about revolution or incremental change.
