SEX STORY

SEX STORY
by Cristina Comencini, Roberto Moroni
Country: Italy
Year: 2018
Duration: 60'


Can television change the sexual behavior of a nation? This is a complex question because television imposes so many one-to-one references on the people who watch it,  and vice versa. An investigation offers a composite and multicolor snapshot of Italy’s sexual habits over the course of the first thirty-five years of its television history, during which,  through an integrative, voracious, and almost osmotic process, the small screen entered, often forcefully; reflected itself; and ended up irremediably changed.

Declaration

film director

“When we began this film we were well aware that a preconceived idea would have inevitably left a mark, in one sense or another. So we forced ourselves to proceed using the investigative method: no theses, only inquiry, whatever we find will supply us with the necessary conclusions. There is only one leitmotif: in the “hot” country par excellence, love is always a problem, a difficult topic, a butterfly which seems within your grasp but which you never manage to catch.”
