Una tenera follia
In the 70s the trend towards disengagement becomes standard, with the deterioration of the social situation and the spread of terrorism, the ongoing disputes, advancing the economic crisis and policy increasingly unable to govern the country. Even the comedy takes the direction of escape and production of series B, in which it is the erotic current witness of the disconnect with the public and with the ability to read the real that had characterized. The production slows down for a decade, and then continue with the film "A tenera follia", a film shot in '87 and directed by Nini Grassia, Italian director and promoter of a sentimental folk and exasperation cinema.
