Plot
Six vignettes explore love and desire in Rome, in a film made from reports and re-enactments.
Sinekatalog’s take
Antonioni, Fellini, Lizzani, Risi, Maselli and Lattuada contributed episodes; it is uneven but interesting, with Antonioni's suicide attempts segment standing out.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
