The Hawks and the Sparrows / Uccellacci e uccellini Series: Heretical Epiphanies: The Cinematic Pilgrimages of Pier Paolo Pasolini Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini, Country: Italy, Release: 1966, Runtime: 89 “A whimsical fantasy about Christianity and Marxism; the question is left open as to whether Pasolini believes in either, or neither.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Pasolini was a fervent admirer of the great Italian comic Totò, whom he saw as the embodiment of southern Italian resistance to the modern, industrial face Italy sought to adopt in the postwar era. He was delighted when Totò agreed to work with him in The Hawks and the Sparrows. After meeting a talking crow, Totò and Ninetto Davoli are transported back to the 12th century, where they become Franciscan monks and set out to convert all the birds to Christianity. One of the best loved Italian films of the ‘60s.
