  • Summary

  • This episode is aboutLina Wertmuller's 1973 film Love and Anarchy (D'Amore e D'Anarchia), the first female director they've discussed. Wertmuller's route to direction is outlined, including her early career with an avant garde puppets theatre, then work with Fellini, before we unpick some of the detail in this exhuberant film. Set in and around a legal brothel in prewar fascist italy, the film tells the story of an anarchist from the sticks who comes to the city to assassinate Mussolini. Excellent performances and some unusual story telling make for a highly watchable and thought provoking film.
