Ro.Go.Pa.G. (1963) on Netflix

Plot summary

Four stories, told one after another, look at modern life. In the first, Anna Maria works as a flight attendant and cannot shake the persistent attention of Joe, an American executive; the two end up in the same hotel for a night. In the second, a nuclear explosion far above Paris leaves the city standing, and a man watches the people around him, his girlfriend Alexandra among them, behave in ways he cannot explain. The third follows Stracci, a poor extra who hands his rations to his wife and children and who plays one of the men crucified beside Christ on a shoot at a hilly waste ground outside Rome. In the fourth, a middle-class family drives to look at a house near a lake while a marketing lecturer explains to businessmen how to push people toward buying.
