Siamo fatti così: Aiuto! (1980) Mondo di notte 4

rarefilm — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 21:44:43 +0000

The film opens with blaring music over a large number of magazine covers and page one titles from the reference press leading to the conclusion that the present society is beyond redemption. The sequence ends with a mix of photos of politicians and other V.I.P.’s, and T&A, tending to the conclusion that they are all the same. The filmed, unrelated segments include: a nude man running after a nude girl in the woods; a show of women wrestling in the nude; capture and killing of sea-wales; the novelty of a sperm bank; an intermezzo of nude women playing music without instruments; a meeting of bigwigs discussing the hunger in the world during a large meal; and censors and priests discussing morality while a couple has sex on the meeting table.
