The film is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution (1917). Pelechian experiments with this film what he will not cease to develop in subsequent films, namely a montage of pre-existing images, alternating past, present and future, the plot of which forms a symbolic representation that goes beyond the history of Russia alone.

Allmovie synopsis:
“Radical chic” was a phenomenon of the upper classes in the late ’60s and early ’70s: liberal, socially concerned and very wealthy people would emulate the attitudes, mannerisms and style of the radicalized and revolutionary poor. They would even go so far as to socialize with revolutionaries and provide them with funding for their activities. In this drama, a similar group of bored rich people gets more involved with the radical element than they had planned, and things get out of hand.Read More »

Recalling the informal neorealist spirit and sociopolitical consciousness of important prewar ensembles such as People on Sunday (1930) and Treno popolare (1933), while paving the way for the wry comedies of manners produced under the aegis of commedia all’italiana, Luciano Emmer’s wonderful Sunday in August (Domenica d’agosto) skillfully interweaves several stories involving a disparate array of Romans who flock to the beaches of Ostia on the eponymous day to escape both the summer heat and their daily troubles. As this lively blend of fiction and documentary proves, however, they are only partly successful in their endeavors.Read More »
