Pier Paolo Pasolini's contribution to the omnibus film "RO.GO.PA.G" casts Orson Welles as a director attempting to make a film of the crucifixion of Jesus-all while he, the cast, and crew behave in the most un-Christlike ways imaginable.
Our read · La Ricotta (1963) reads as a sombre, kinetic, inventive drama · comedy entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
