It explores how masculinity functioned in several films of the 1970s as a charged allegory for the many socio-political lacerations of the Italian nation and as a site of conflict and radical interrogation of ideas about gender and sexuality."--Provided by publisher UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1602/2014495533-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1602/2014495533-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1602/2014495533-t.html ER -
