description
Set in 1968's Swinging London, Escalation, was the debut film of then 25-year-old director Roberto Faenza.
True to his youth, Faenza's dark comedy dealt with the war being waged between armies of bourgeois parents and their hippy offspring.
The tale of Luca, the ne'er-do-well son of a wealthy Italian industrialist, and his father's attempt use any means necessary to bring him home to Italy and make him take his rightful place at the helm of the family empire (even if it means destroying him).

Ennio Morricone's unique ability to use music to express the inner psyche of his films' protagonists is what makes his scores so unique.
Here Morricone teams up with fellow composer Bruno Nicolai and the vocalizations of Alessandro Alessandroni's Cantori Moderni making this one of his less minimal soundtracks, as both and orchestra and a choir is used.
In 1968 Morricone was at the height of his career, scoring not only Sergio Leone's classic Once Upon a Time in the West, but also, unbelievably, more than 20 other films!

story

The generation gap widens when a prominent industrialist father forces his ruthless corporate mentality on his hippie son.
Luca feels pressure from his domineering father to follow in his footsteps.
His father succeeds in shattering his youthful, idealistic nature, changing the sensitive poet into a robotic clone and preparing him to take over the family business.
Dad sends the boy to a sexy female psychiatrist who brainwashes the son with sex and tempers his social acceptability through "therapy."
The boy marries the doctor before succumbing to the pressures to adhere to his family's wishes.
