Title from title frames
An epic tragicomedy from director Lina Wertmuller (Seven beauties), Love and anarchy plumbs the depths of fascist Italy from the perspective of a simple farm boy sent to kill Mussolini. Giancarlo Giannini (The seduction of Mimi) won the best acting prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his achingly sensitive portrayal of Tunin, a freckle-faced innocent who became an accidental anarchist. His contact in Rome is Salomè (Mariangela Melato), a prostitute with her own sob story. While they prepare for the assassination, Tunin falls in love with Tripolina (Lina Polito), which threatens the entire operation. A film of operatic emotion and subversive comedy, Love and anarchy is a powerful statement on the terror of fascism and the ignoble fates of those who challenged it
Originally produced by Kino Lorber Edu in 1973
