H2S is a 1969 Italian dystopian-science-fiction film directed by Roberto Faenza. Although filmed in 1968 and officially released in 1969, the film was immediately banned in Italy, to be distributed only in 1971. Set in the near future, it portrays a student revolt in a dictatorship.

Cast

Production

The film is Faenza's second feature; H2S was filmed in 1969. His next film, Forza Italia!, would only be released in 1977.

Reception

Due to repeated censorship issues, the film was only distributed in 1971, attracting little attention at the time.
