Pier Paolo Pasolini sets out to interview Italians about sex, apparently their least favorite thing to talk about in public: he asks children if they know where babies come from; asks old and young women if they support gender equality; asks both sexes if a woman's virginity still matters, what do they think of homosexuality, if divorce should be legal, or if they support the recent abolition of brothels. He interviews blue-collar workers, intellectuals, college students, rural farmers, the bourgeoisie, and every other kind of people, painting a vivid portrait of a rapidly-industrializing Italy, hanging between modernity and tradition — toward both of which Pasolini shows equal distrust.

Taking more inspiration from The Faces of Death than from the "real" movie world, this documentary shows brutal violence, sex, nudes, some curiosities from various countries. Specifically: we observe porn-taxis, gay-pride, erotic patisserie, child prostitution, children forced to crush coca leaves (this causes them horrible wounds on the skin), human skin trade, sick children (very strong scene). According to the tradition of the movie world, even animals are not spared, even if the cruelties against them are limited to two scenes: the extraction of the heart of a monkey while it is still alive, and the operation on the testicles of a other monkey for testosterone.

Playboy Video Centerfold: Jodi Ann Paterson - Playmate of the Year 2000
Are you ready to meet the first Playmate of the Year for the new millennium? We hope so because Jodi Ann Paterson is abut to explode on the scene with an abundance of talent and sensuality. We knew she was something special when we discovered her on our countrywide Playmate Search 2000. As pure as the snowy mountain peaks that surround the small North-western community where she spent her childhood, this Oregon State University grad toned her sultry figure as an avid snowboarder and exercised her intellect at Eugene's CBS affiliate KVAL-TV. No stranger to the limelight, Miss October 1999 is a veteran of the Miss Teen Circuit, where she won the hearts of the judges with her Indonesian-born exotic beauty. Now she has arrived in Hollywood, where we expect her impressive combination of beauty and brains will surely pave the way for a fantastic future. We're just happy to be along as Jodi begins her rise to the top!
