Italian film director from Brescia, author of provocative and sometimes censored films such as Il giardino delle Delizie (1967), Nel più alto dei cieli (1977) and D'amore si vive (1983).

Several of Agosti's films faced censorship or bans on release (reviews cite censorship and bans). The soundtrack for Nel più alto dei cieli is by Nicola Piovani (as noted in a review).

DeBaser hosts a small selection of reviews on Silvano Agosti, an Italian director from Brescia. The texts discuss three films in particular, noting provocations, censorship, and varying artistic success. Reception is mixed: some praise his courage and emotional power, others criticize excesses and questionable dramatic choices.

For:Cinephiles and students of Italian political/underground cinema; readers interested in provocative, censored films.

 I was looking for a shocking film, one that could compete, for example, with the extreme Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

 An hour and a half that slides by leaving a profound lump of emotion and horror; Agosti at times instrumentalizes, at times (we must admit) treads paths that prick and compromise a detailed resolution on the testimonies of personalities already dulled by a four-eye confession with the camera, but it is undeniable the intrinsic quality of perspectives on tenderness and pleasure that perhaps we will never have the opportunity to know and grasp even in real life...

 As a result, it does not earn a passing grade in my opinion.
