Released in 1965, Love Meetings is a documentary film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, running about 88 minutes.
What it’s about. 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 do 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.
Who’s in it. Love Meetings stars Lello Bersani as Narrator (voice), Pier Paolo Pasolini as Self - Interviewer (uncredited), Alberto Moravia as Self - Writer and Cesare Musatti as Self - Psychoanalyst, among others.
