La Ricotta screening with La Rabbia Series: Heretical Epiphanies: The Cinematic Pilgrimages of Pier Paolo Pasolini Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini, Release: 1963, Runtime: 40 This screening features two medium-length films originally included in collaborative efforts made with other directors. La Ricotta was included in Ro.Go.Pa.G., an omnibus with contributions by Rossellini, Godard and Ugo Gregoretti. Pasolini cast Orson Welles as a Fellini-esque director working on a lavish film about the life of Jesus. The production hires some locals from the slum in which they’re filming; the director’s increasingly absurd demands on them are borne in silence, as they resentfully wait for the meal they’ve been promised. The blend of Christian imagery with social critique anticipates later films such as The Gospel According to St. Matthew and The Hawks and the Sparrows. Italy/France screening with La Rabbia Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italy, 1963; 53m Pasolini accepted an invitation to make a film that addressed why contemporary society, despite its material well-being, remains so unhappy. The film was to be part of a diptych, in which Giovanni Guareschi would provide the conservative, right-wing answer to that question, while Pasolini would provide the leftist position. His film, La Rabbia, is a remarkable feat of montage, in which Pasolini brings together a powerful assortment of images to form a kind of film essay. A particular focus of the film is the de-colonization of Africa, then happening at full force: Pasolini invests great hope in these emerging societies, in which he argues the combination of tradition and modernity will provide a cogent model for the rest of the world.
