Film d’ amore e d’ anarchia, Nino Rota

That’s a heart breaking song, composed by Nino Rota, in a film that everyone must watch. A great story, with amazing acting and very realistic atmosphere. Love and Anarchy (Italian: Film d’amore e d’anarchia) is a 1973 film directed by Lina Wertmüller and starring Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato. The story, set in Fascist Italy before the outbreak of World War II, centers on Giannini’s character, an anarchist who stays in a brothel while preparing to kill Benito Mussolini. Giannini’s character, while preparing to assassinate Mussolini, falls in love with one of the whores working in the brothel. This film explores the depths of his emotions concerning love, his hate for fascism, and his fears of being killed while assasinating Mussolini. Love and Anarchy was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival and Giannini was awarded Best Actor.
