Sommaire
A collection of four short films which take a satirical and darkly humourous look at society and the conditions and circumstances of specific individuals in it. Illibatezza depicts a man's attempts at and obsession with finding a womb to which to return. La ricotta is a film about a man involved in a film about the crucifixion, and how religion betrays him just as it did Jesus.
Il nuovo mondo looks through the eyes of the only man unaffected by an atmospheric nuclear blast over Paris and how those around him have responded and changed. Il pollo rusponte concerns a typical, quietly suffering family man brainwashed by the t.v. advertising coordinated by a group of experts.
This consists of four short films by different directors. Rosselini's 'Chastity' ('Illibatezza') deals with an attractive air hostess who receives the unwelcome attentions of a middle aged American. Godard's 'New World' ('Il Nuovo Mondo') illustrates a post-apocalypse world the same as the pre-apocalyptic one but for an enigmatic change in attitude in most people, including the central character's girlfriend. In Pasolini's 'Curd Cheese' ('La Ricotta'), a lavish film about the life of Jesus Christ is being made in a poor area. The impoverished people subject themselves to various indignities in the name of moviemaking in order to win a little food. The central character is hoisted up on a cross for filming, and dies there. Finally comes Gregoretti's 'Free Range Chicken' ('Il Pollo Ruspante') in which a family of the materialist culture inadvertantly illustrate the cynical, metallic voiced doctrine of a top sales theorist.
