Working Slowly (Radio Alice) (NR)

synopsis

Revisiting the Italy of the radical '70s and its obsessions with class struggle, creative anarchy and macramé ponchos, 'Working Slowly' (Radio Alice) provides a fascinating glimpse of a time of protest. In a working-class district on the outskirts of Bologna, Sgualo and Pelo hang out at the local cafe, allergic to gainful employment. They don't mind the occasional shady job for local hood Marangon, but they're convinced there's little future whichever way they turn.
