Mauro Bolognaini, Young and Stupid Young Husbands and Stormy Night. These tapes, thanks to Mauro Bolognini and Pier Paolo Pasolini, look like separated twin brothers. Later will be less gloomy, but also similar to them “stupid day”.
Again in the spotlight a whole "gang" - five rapidly growing men. They used to spend time together, get acquainted with girls, molest the indecently fattened street “worker”. But time gives its signals and the guys are increasingly isolated from each other and they have wives. This moment of fracture is shown by the author's duo Bolognini - Pasolini.
We will witness several intense evenings with these guys, after which it becomes clear that they just do not want to grow up.
