11—18 Luglio 1970

Mostri, gladiatori e fanta-erotismo
Nell’anno in cui il premio della giuria viene conferito al film svedese The Gladiators di Peter Watkins, è in concorso anche Gappa del giapponese Haruyasu Noguchi: il gigantesco Gappa è in realtà un baby-mostro rapito dal nido e disperatamente cercato dai genitori per tutto il Giappone, con conseguenze disastrose.
L’ottavo Festival apre anche le porte, in barba alla censura, al filone del fanta-erotico con Zeta uno dell’inglese Michael Cort.


Monsters, gladiators and fantasy eroticism
In the year in which the jury prize is awarded to the Swedish film The Gladiators by Peter Watkins, Gappa by the Japanese Haruyasu Noguchi is also in competition: the gigantic Gappa is actually a baby monster kidnapped from the nursery and desperately sought by his parents for everything Japan, with disastrous consequences.
The eighth Festival also opens the doors, in defiance of censorship, to the genre of erotic fantasy with Zeta Uno by the English director Michael Cort.
