La Rage

La Rabbia employs documentary footage (from the 1950's) and an accompanying commentary to attempt to answer the existential question: Why are our lives characterized by discontent, anguish, and fear? The film is in two completely separate parts, and the directors of these respective sections, left-wing Pier Paolo Pasolini and conservative Giovanni Guareschi, offer the viewer contrasting analyses of and prescriptions for modern society.
