We Want Roses Too poster

Released in 2008, We Want Roses Too is a documentary film directed by Alina Marazzi, running about 85 minutes.

What it’s about. The film looks again at recent events from a female point of view, through the first-hand accounts provided by the diaries of three women. Rather than focusing on the alleged objectivity of facts, the film gives space to a chorus of voices that narrate those events in first person, visually supported by archival footage of the period, drawn from the most varied sources - institutional, public, militant and private. Anita, Teresa and Valentina come from different Italian regions and different social backgrounds, but share the same feelings: they no longer feel as part of a society based on the patriarchal family, on the power of "husbands" and on the supremacy of males, which requires them to be efficient mothers, obedient wives and virtuous daughters.

Who’s in it. We Want Roses Too stars Anita Caprioli as Anita (voice) and Teresa Saponangelo as Teresa (voice).

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.4/10, We Want Roses Too has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
