Review of Love and Anger (1969) by Marco M — 11 Jul 2007

More intriguing than actually interesting, the unevenness of the respective shorts is its biggest flaw. Lizzani's segment entitled "Indifference" left me with the same sentiment exactly; Bertolucci's "Agony" was, for lack of a better term, precisely what the title describes; Pasolini's "The Sequence" is the most visually interesting of the set; Godard's "Love" is clever to the point of facetiousness; and Bellocchio's "Discutiamo" is very engaging as a dialogue the student movements and politics of the '68ers but very uninspired visually as well as betraying Bellocchio's complete inability to act.
