Abstract/Sommario: From its sung opening credits, Hawks and Sparrows (Uccellacci e uccellini) is a wonderfully free-form picaresque fable that lampoons politics, religion and the state of modern Italy, as the beloved comic actor Totò, Pasolini regular Ninetto Davoli and a talking crow wander the landscape through a gauntlet of unexpected encounters.

Pigsty (Porcile) is one of his most controversial works, interspersing the mute wanderings of cannibalistic savages against a barren, volcanic earth with the tale of Julian (played by Nouvelle Vague icon Jean-Pierre Léaud), his radically politicised fiancée Ida (Anne Wiazemsky, Au Hasard Balthazar), and the financial machinations of his father Herr Klotz in contemporary industrialised Germany.

Medea features opera legend Maria Callas in a dark tale of betrayal and revenge. The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales and Arabian Nights from the bawdy 'Trilogy of Life', all with scores by the legendary Ennio Morricone. And Pasolini's final, shocking film, Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom, sees him pushing his art to extremes.

Abstract/Sommario: Una de las pelìculas màs ambiciosas de todos los tiempos compuesta por cuatro episodios sobre el Apocalipsis dirigidos por Jean-Luc Godard, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Roberto Rossellini y Ugo Gregoretti. Cuatro maestros del cine que analizan la época en la que viven con una mazcla de ironìa, sàtira, cinismo y nihilismo, sin olvidarse de dotar cada historia con un humor àcido y corrosivo no exento de cierta inocencia...
