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..
Passolini's excellent interpretation of Sophocles' legendary play that is possibly one of the most important pieces in art history.
Pasolini's BEST film.
Strong, sensitive, violent amazing shots.
not for everybody but recommentable
Astounding. I don't understand why Pasolini dosen't get much credit. Beautiful cinematography, and amazing acting.
Probably one of the more interesting dream sequences I've seen. An interesting take on the Oedipus myth and its mystical reality with modern life. A tale of innocence and its beauty and yet its fragility. Wonderfully captured on film by Pasolini.
This was done artfully and in true Pasolini style. However I did like his Matthew film better.
Passolini era un intelectual y creador lleno de contradicciones. Que mejor que la tragedia de Edipo para manifestarlo. Asistimos a un filme que nos presenta a un Edipo demasiado humano, incapaz de comprenderse a si mismo y abocado sin remedio a la catástrofe.
