The Hawks and the Sparrows
Uccellacci e uccellini
An off-beat comedy about serious matters by PIER PAOLO PASOLINI.
A talking bird dispenses radical ideology while a father and son wander through Rome’s underbelly. What begins as a light ramble mutates into an unhinged parable on class and power. The bird’s monologues are entertaining until they’re just exhausting.
