> Fascinating neorealist-surrealist tableau of the daily life of Ninetto and his father Toto Innocenti (the holy Ciccillio), who, suddenly, in the mezzo del camminin...and with a raven -son of Mr. Duda and Mrs. Conciencia- instead of Virgilio, a charming and cynical crow due to its resemblance to the Nescio of Erasmus of Rotterdam, undertake a spiritual and metaphysical "crusade", in the manner of fables, to tame and reconcile the hawks and sparrows in God's plan; this is my favorite Pasolini and not the exegetical and historical one; the Pasolini that allegorizes with his own message and from the opening credits feels loose, loose in joviality, he feels in his land; There are no evangelical hermeneutics with correct meanings of this or that gospel, nor historical canons of Hellenic Greece
