If we wanted to find an equivalent of the Nouvelle Vague in Italian cinema, it would be formed by a heterogeneous group of authors who – although not recognized as a real movement, unlike the French one – in the 1960s went against the trend of previous years' cinema, creating films that broke with and challenged bourgeois and conformist society, both in form and content. We are talking about young filmmakers who would later become famous directors, authors who were ‘independent’ at the time (as we would say today) and who had the merit of rejuvenating Italian cinema: Bernardo Bertolucci (Prima della rivoluzione), Marco Bellocchio (I pugni in tasca), the early Tinto Brass (Chi lavora è perduto), Marco Ferreri, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Carlo Lizzani, and the Taviani brothers, to name just the most important. It is in this context that Giuliano Montaldo's Una bella grinta (1965) should be placed. This was his second film, and in the following decade he became one of the most famous and controversial socially committed directors in Italian cinema (from L'Agnese va a morire to the trilogy against power, namely Gott mit uns, Sacco e Vanzetti, and Giordano Bruno). Having proven himself to be a counter-cultural author since his controversial debut film, Tiro al piccione (1961) – one of the first to deal with the Republic of Salò from the perspective of a republican – with Una bella grinta Montaldo continues his unconventional narrative of borderline characters, showing the dark side of the economic boom and denouncing the ruthlessness of capitalism and bourgeois society.
