Love Meetings

About This Movie

Love Meetings is a fascinating exploration of Italian attitudes toward sex in the mid-60s, directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. It feels like a documentary but it's raw, candid - almost confrontational at times. Pasolini's interviews skirt around societal taboos, capturing the awkwardness and discomfort inherent in discussing such a personal topic. The pacing is methodical, with each segment building a broader picture of cultural norms and contradictions. What stands out is how he juxtaposes the voices of the young and old, revealing a spectrum of beliefs about gender and sexuality. The atmosphere feels almost electric, charged with the tension of unspoken truths. It's a distinctive piece, not just a commentary but an artistic reflection on a society wrestling with its own demons.
