(Edipo Re)

Country: IT/MOR
Technical: col/scope 104m
Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini
Cast: Franco Citti, Silvana Mangano, Alida Valli

Synopsis:

Brought up as a foundling, Oedipus flees his homeland for fear of fulfilling a prophecy and journeys to Thebes.

Review:

Sophocles' play is given typically rough-edged realism by Pasolini (handheld camera, toothless extras, etc.), and casts his erstwhile pimp (Accatone) as the king. The results are earthily compelling.
