Love & Anarchy (1973)
From Amazon:
Lina Wertmuller and her favorite actor, Giancarlo Giannini, took large steps toward establishing their international reputations with this 1973 tragi-comedy about an oaf who gets it into his head to assassinate Mussolini right after the Fascist takeover of Italy. The hero's plans, however, get a little off-track when he falls for a prostitute in the brothel where he's hiding out. As always, Wertmuller's politics can get ahead of the rest of her film. But her sharply perceptive and comic takes on the collapse of various human constructions--social divisions, schemes, dignity--in intense situations is the stuff of genuine revelation....
