- Synopsis:
Two films from one of the most revered and controversial directors of all time!
The Hawks and the Sparrows (1966)
Pasolini's most unconventional movie sees a man and his son set out on life's journey, accompanied by a Marxist crow which comments on the passing landscape. Amongst their many encounters is St. Francis, who is determined to convert them. A surreal fable, with a touch of Don Quixote, it sets two innocents in a world dominated by the Church and Marxism. In casting one of Italy's top clowns - Toto - in the lead role, the sense of tragi-comedy is enhanced.
Pigsty (1969)Two unrelated tales that explore the darker side of the human condition. The first sees a wandering soldier and his band of loyal followers descend into cannibalism. The second finds the successful son of a former Nazi (played by Truffaut regular Jean-Pierre Leaud) seeking pleasure with pigs. Second only to Salo amongst Pasolini's bold statements on the savagery within all men, the film remains startling and shocking even today. - Actors:
