The Seduction of Mimi

Lina Wertmüller's first movie with both Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato (General Kala to you Flash Gordon fans). It's wonderful to watch the two of them fall in love. But the political content (the "Seduction" of the title is Giannini's political temptation to reject the Left and join the Establishment) doesn't age well. Love and Anarchy and Swept Away (no, not the Madonna remake) are far better.
