La rabbia [videorecording] : un film in due parti = The anger : a film in two parts / un film prodotto da Gastone Feffanti per la Opus Film ; la prima parte é di Pier Paolo Pasolini ; la seconda parte é di Giovannino Guareschi.
[Rome, Italy] : Raro Video, [2008].
"La Rabbia employs documentary footage (from the 1950's) and accompanying commentary to attempt to answer the existential question, Why are our lives characterized by discontent, anguish, and fear? The film is in two completely separate parts, and the directors of these respective sections, left-wing Pier Paolo Pasolini and conservative Giovanni Guareschi, offer the viewer contrasting analyses of and prescriptions for modern society."--www.imdb.com
