Oedipus Rex
Pasolini’s Terrifying… Compassionate… Magnificent…
In pre-war Italy, a young couple have a baby boy. The father, however, is jealous of his son - and the scene moves to antiquity, where the baby is taken into the desert to be killed. He is rescued, given the name Edipo (Oedipus), and brought up by the King and Queen of Corinth as their son. One day an oracle informs Edipo that he is destined to kill his father and marry his mother. Horrified, he flees Corinth and his supposed parents - only to get into a fight and kill an older man on the road…

Я четыре раза пересматривала Царя Эдипа. Такое удовольствие чувствовала, что-то божественное. Полюбила как-то заново.
I've watched Oedipus Rex four times. I felt such pleasure, something divine. Fell in love with it all over again.
