Pigsty (1969)

  • Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1969, Italy, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • Leave a comment

This could be Pasolini’s most oblique work—a diptych that examines the nature of latent fascism and fetishistic consumption through the symbolism of cannibalism and the erasure of bodily traces.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Oedipus Rex (1967)

  • Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1967, Italy, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • Leave a comment

This solid mythical epic based on Sophocles’ most famous text sees Pasolini passionately delivering a rousing tragedy, a precursor and counterpoint to his boisterous and even more provocative ‘Trilogy of Life’.   

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Hawks and Sparrows (1966)

  • Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1966, Italy, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • Leave a comment

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Boatman (1993)

  • Rosi, Gianfranco
  • 1993, Documentary, Gianfranco Rosi, India, Italy
  • Leave a comment

Rosi’s eye-opening first-ever documentary could be his finest—he plants his camera on a boat along the holy Ganges River, capturing the assortment of sights, sounds and fervent opinions, as it meditates on the cycles of life and death.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
