Country: Italy
Year: 2000
Duration: 70'
Almost forty years after the fact, a return to Pasolini's reporting style, recuperating the general structure his methods and asking the same questions about sexuality that Pier Paolo Pasolini asked. This film is inspired by the original without resorting to becoming a remake, and observes, gathers and reports the opinions of a wide range of Italians, without generalizing and making pre-conceived judgments. The film was produced for Telepiù's anniversary program, 2 Novembre 2000: Pasolini oggi.
"Paradoxically, my research has maintained the provocative value of the original, what emerged was the image of a country that is still culturally divided, conditioned by stereotypes and clichés and still a slave to sexual taboos that we thought were perquisites of long ago" (Bruno Bigoni).
