Written and directed by Italian filmmaker Alberto Bevilacqua, Questa Specie D'Amore (This Kind of Love) illustrates the difficulties one runs into when one attempts detached intellectualism. Ugo Tognazzi plays the son of a 1930s-era anti-fascist (also played by Tognazzi) who had suffered mightily for his beliefs. Wishing to cut himself off from all feelings and compassion lest he be tormented in the same manner as his father, Tognazzi rushes into a marriage with the spoiled daughter (Jean Seberg) of a wealthy nobleman. The misery attending this mismatch leads Tognazzi to desert his sheltered new lifestyle and return to his father's home town. Throughout the film, flashbacks are used to show the events that led Tognazzi into building huge walls around his true feelings. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Death Smiles on a Murderer (La Morte ha Sorriso All'Assassino) is a grotesque yarn starring the equally grotesque Klaus Kinski. The murderer of the title thinks he's gotten off scott free. But, no, someone has been dabbling in Things Man Was Not Meant to Know, and soon the murder victims have been brought back to life. Ewa Aulin, star of the controversal 1968 comedy Candy, also appears. Death Smiles on a Murderer was directed, written and photographed by the prolific Aristide Massaccesi, also known as Joe D'Amato. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this big-budget adaptation of Terry Southern's satiric sex farce (the sort of project that could get an immediate green light in the late 1960's and at practically no other time before or since), Ewa Aulin is Candy, a sweet young woman who doesn't seem entirely aware of the powerful sexual desire she brings out in men. While her father (John Astin) and mother (Elsa Martinelli) try to keep Candy in line, the task proves to be all but impossible, as she's seduced by a remarkable variety of men in her journeys, including a booze-addled poet (Richard Burton), a mystical guru who lives on a truck (Marlon Brando), a gardener from Mexico (Ringo Starr), a fanatical military man who refuses to leave his plane (Walter Matthau), a pair of uncomfortably high-strung doctors (John Huston and James Coburn) and even her own uncle (Astin, again). The Byrds and Steppenwolf contributed songs to the soundtrack; the screenplay was written by Buck Henry. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This is a deliriously strange thriller about a scientist (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who is breeding headless, boneless chickens at a high-tech farm. He's having an affair with Ewa Aulin, who is plotting with him to kill his wife (Gina Lollobrigida)...and she's plotting with Aulin to kill him...and he and Lollobrigida are plotting...oh, it's too confusing, but extremely memorable. The bizarre, only semi-linear editing and trippy cinematographic techniques are artifacts of the psychedelic era and combine with the twisted story to make any Euro-cultist's dreams come true. A film that defies easy categorization, it veers uneasily between giallo, drug film, and science-fiction, with heavy doses of romance and Antonioni-like weirdness. Some parts are even reminiscent of David Lynch's Eraserhead. Aulin was in the even stranger Microscopic Liquid Subway to Oblivion a few years later. A must-see for genre fans. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
