Pigsty (1969)

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

This could be Pasoliniโ€™s most oblique workโ€”a diptych that examines the nature of latent fascism and fetishistic consumption through the symbolism of cannibalism and the erasure of bodily traces.

Oedipus Rex (1967)

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

This solid mythical epic based on Sophoclesโ€™ most famous text sees Pasolini passionately delivering a rousing tragedy, a precursor and counterpoint to his boisterous and even more provocative โ€˜Trilogy of Lifeโ€™.ย ย ย

Hawks and Sparrows (1966)

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

A talking Marxist-leaning crow accompanies an old man and his son as Pasolini fashions a lukewarm comedy with absurdist undertones as it pokes fun at religion, politics and society.

Boatman (1993)

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

Rosiโ€™s eye-opening first-ever documentary could be his finestโ€”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.

8ยฝ (1963)

  • Criterion Collection, Fellini, Federico
  • 1963, Federico Fellini, Italy
  • 6 Comments

Fellini’s mastery of form and style is there for all to revel in this autobiographical film about the psychological crisis of a film director.
