WE WANT ROSES TOO

Vogliamo anche le rose

Directed by Alina Marazzi
Italy, Switzerland, 2007

Synopsis

Intriguing in its form, fascinating in its content, this history of women’s experience in post-war Italy is a collage of archive footage, artful new animated inserts and personal testimonies.

Our take

Alina Marazzi bursts the seams of genre to narrate the liberation of Italian women in the 1960s and 1970s. Juxtaposing advertisements and newsreels with reenactments of intensely intimate diary entries, she creates a kaleidoscope of archival material that echoes the volatile exuberance of the time.
