Trivia
Italian censors initially removed the last few minutes of Michelangelo Antonioni's treatise on suicide. An exhaustive search of the Italian National Film Library and Cinecitta finally unearthed these missing moments for the DVD release.

Top review

7/10

Six short stories about different types of Love in Rome.

Antonioni goes deep and examines suicide caused by heartbreak. Fellini verges on his strange world. Risi lampoons the dance halls. Zavattini goes neo-realism with the love of a mother to her child. Lattuada deals with lust and perversion with bouncing breasts, swinging hips and eyes popping out of their sockets. Fellini is the most interesting one.
