This is an epic film for our times just as much as 50 years ago when it was created, and in pre-WW2 fascist Italy. There is so much in this film that is tragically comparable to the world today that I feel it is a must see for everyone. I watch a lot of 1970s Italian cinema but primarily gialli and horror because Fellini is too obnoxiously self-indulgent for me. I feel grateful to find Love and Anarchy here on IMDB just because I took a poll on which actors' film recommendations I would want to see, and I quite naturally chose 1970s Italian arthouse cinema.
Beautiful, funny, philosophical and sad, Lina Wertmullers socialist film set in a 1930s brothel ticks all my boxes in terms of content, aesthetics, fashion, and ideas. I am also pleased this is in Italian and not horribly dubbed into English which would render this serious film ridiculous.
