HAWKS AND SPARROWS (1966)

PIER PAOLO PASOLINI

Plot

The two lead characters take dual roles, as a father and son walking thru' a bleak landscape discussing politics and philosophy, and as two disciples of St Francis sent to convert birds to the Christian ideal of universal love. A darkly comic allegory on class conflict with an excellent sound track by Ennio Morricone.
