Loving in Marghera (The Kiss) 1970 Directed by Sirio Luginbühl Amarsi a Marghera (Il bacio)

Can love prevail over decay?

The film is set in an industrial landfill in the Petrochemical area of Porto Marghera (Venice). Here, among the toxic residues, a happening takes place: a boy and a girl without knowing each other before are invited to undress and kiss in front of ‘fake’ journalists, photographers and operators. The soundtrack is composed by different environmental noises. The director denounces in this way the pollution and the landscape changing, focusing on the vision of two beautiful bodies kissing.
