Trivia At the 1968 Venice Film Festival, the film was given an award by the International Catholic Film Office. The award was withdrawn after critical remarks by Pope Paul VI. After the festival the film was confiscated by Italian police and Pier Paolo Pasolini charged with obscenity, but acquitted. See more »

Quotes Lucia, the mother: I realize now that I've never had any real interest in anything. I don't mean anything grand. Just the simple, everyday interest my husband takes in his work, or my son in his studies, or Odetta in family life. I've had nothing like that. I don't know how I lived with such emptiness, yet I did. If there was anything at all, some instinctive love of life, it has withering away - like a garden where no one ever goes. Actually, that void was filled with false and wretched values, an appalling jumble of misguided ideas. Now I see: You filled my life with a real and total interest. So by leaving, you're not destroying anything that was there before, except my chaste bourgeois reputation. Who cares about that?
