Love In The City (DVD)

Six top Italian filmmakers pooled their talents on the omnibus "reality" feature L'Amore in Citta (Love in the City). The film is divided into five separate episodes. Michelangelo Antonioni's "Attempted Suicide", several would-be suicides discuss the reasons for their despair. Dino Risi's "Paradise for Three Hours" is a humorous glance at a provincial dance hall. Federico Fellini's "Marriage Agency" finds an investigative reporter posing as a husband-to-be. Cesara Zavattini and Umberto Maselli's "Story of Caterina" dramatizes the true story of a young unwed mother. Finally, "Italians Stare", written and directed by Alberto Lattuada, illustrates the various girl-watching techniques of Italian men. Among the actors particpating in the six vignettes are Ugo Tognazzi, Maressa Gallo, and Caterina Riogoglioso.
