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 Federico, 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, Federico rushes into a marriage with the spoiled daughter (Jean Seberg) of a wealthy nobleman. The misery attending this mismatch leads Federico 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 Federico into building huge walls around his true feelings. (Cinemax)
