Edipo re (Oedipus Rex)
Removing sentiments,matrimonial confusions,it's no less than a naked intellect.Pasolini is the withering god of punctuality and the desolate face of Citti is fully eloquent in the antique manner of its topic.The kings are not dead yet..

Teorema (Theorem) (1968,  Unrated)

Porcile (Pigpen) (Pigsty) (1969,  Unrated)
Porcile (Pigpen) (Pigsty)
2 allegorical stories make this a demi comedy by that legendary scholar/poet/post-modern inquisitor.Cannibalism,a series of totalitarian fragments,the director Marco Ferreri and cult avant-garde figure Anne Wiazemsky in guest roles,why...it's a nutcase!It's more than a superficial story however,faithful to a leftist idea of freedom and anarchy,Pasolini presents us caricatures in unorthodox angles and...carnivorous lusts!

Medea (1970,  Unrated)

Il Decameron (The Decameron) (1971,  Unrated)
Il Decameron (The Decameron)
Boccaccio would have been proud..and cautious at first,it's a delightful pleasure to watch Decameron,striking images and anarchic events taking place,Pasolini once again bedazzles us.
