Three young hoodlums at large in Rome at night encounter something of the world of decadence and privilege that was to be explored in La dolce vita: cheap backstreets and rich apartments, prostitutes and queers as well as the wastelands of the Roman countryside. Here, with a script by Pasolini and a wonderful French and Italian cast, Rome and around is seen from below, by outsiders and losers, and with a harsh, unforgiving eye. Contains mature content. In Italian language with English subtitles.(35mm presentation)
