Moving on to another Italian.

Separating between erotica and romantic films can sometimes be tricky if you haven’t seen the films, but I’m fairly confident Francesco de Masi’s UNA HISTORIA D’AMORE (1967) is more of a romantic film, whereas his LESBO (1969) fits our criteria. It’s all laidback, sensual cocktail lounge grooves here and a beautiful listening experience. Sometimes with a wistful quality, which makes everything better.
