New Testament parables and gospels are retold in contemporary settings. In New York, people ignore others needing help. In Rome, a cheerful, innocent young man walking a city street during a time of war pays a price for this innocence. Elsewhere, striking students take over a university classroom.

Cinematic luminaries—Pasolini, Godard, Bellocchio, and more—join forces in this impassioned anthology, a vital time capsule of 1960s discontent. As hushed indifference gives way to a feverish cacophony of dissent, Love and Anger powerfully voices the political angst of a restless generation.
