Il riassunto Pier Paolo Pasolini sets out to interview Italians about sex, apparently their least favorite thing to talk about in public: he asks children if they know where babies come from; asks old and young women if they support gender equality; asks both sexes if a woman’s virginity still matters, what do they think of homosexuality, if divorce should be legal, or if they support the recent abolition of brothels. He interviews blue-collar workers, intellectuals, college students, rural farmers, the bourgeoisie, and every other kind of people, painting a vivid portrait of a rapidly-industrializing Italy, hanging between modernity and tradition — toward both of which Pasolini shows equal distrust.

Il commento Il documentario di Pasolini, oltre a rivelare un’Italia moralmente piccola e arretrata, è interessante per il campionario di facce, voci e ambienti che mostra, e per mostrare quanto dannatamente era intelligente PPP, soprattutto se confrontato ai tromboni con cui parla.
