Reviews

" An allegorical pamphlet on the situation of the Italian post-war youth, recalls in his ironic distancing used shock aesthetics of Buñuel. "

" Pasolini fled in a dark imagery, a consistent expression of an artist who sees himself as a seer. [ ... ] It must be said that increasingly has no audience for such Orphic original words, which term also understands furthest parts of criticism and film-makers. Art is communication. For Pasolini, but it has become a monologue. "
