This review is from: Rogopag [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The genial idea to make such variegated project showing the different approaches of such talented directors and even more, to gather him was simply arresting.

Roberto Roselini with the first story makes an incisive and devastating disection about the growing despair of an American for seducting a very alluring woman (Rossana Schiaffino).

Then, the second tale is from Godard with the bleakest of all, a persoanl reflection about the future of mankind after an atomic bomb exploits 120.ooo mts. over Paris and the way the people forget the ethic.

Pasolini with his mordacious vision about a film about the last stage of Jesus in the cross and how he carves in relief his acidic comments in his later ego, Orson Welles as the director of the play.

Finally, a cynical portrait of the fundamental patterns of the customer in two narrative planes: when a hailed proffesor gives a conference about this issue and how a middle class family is highlighted around their way of living.

Admirable set of memorable vignettes make of this film an obligated reference and one of the main cult movies of the sixties.

Absolutely recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good start to enjoy contemporary cinema, September 6, 2000

This review is from: Rogopag [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It's an extreme pleasure to view the art of four contemporary masters in one film. Especially Pasolini's "La Ricota" could be one of the best films made by this controversial Italian director. If you like to see some very funny, charming, delicate, yet profound artistic movies but don't want to spand too much time, check this one out!
