Giancarlo Giannini won the best acting prize at the Cannes Film Festival for the achingly sensitive portrayal of Tunin, a freckle faced innocent who becomes an accidental anarchist. His contact in Rome is Salome (Mariagela Melato), a prostitute with her own sob story. A film of operatic emotion and subversive comedy, Love and Anarchy is a powerful statement on the terror of fascism and the ignoble fates that challenge it.
