What happens
Love and Anarchy (Italian: Film d'amore e d'anarchia, ovvero: stamattina alle 10, in via dei Fiori, nella nota casa di tolleranza..., lit. 'Film of Love and Anarchy, or Rather: This Morning at 10, in Via dei Fiori, in the Well-Known Brothel...') is a 1973 political comedy-drama film written and directed by Lina Wertmüller and starring Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato. Set in Fascist Italy in the early 1930s, the film follows Tunin (Giannini), an anarchist farmer who stays in a brothel in Rome while preparing to assassinate Benito Mussolini with assistance from Salomè (Melato), a prostitute and fellow anarchist. However, his mission is complicated when he becomes romantically involved with Tripolina (Lina Polito), another prostitute at the brothel. The film explores the depths of his emotions concerning love, his hate for fascism, and his fears of being killed while assassinating Mussolini. At the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Love and Anarchy was nominated for the Palme d'Or and Giannini was awarded Best Actor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
