The Hawks and the Sparrows
An off-beat comedy about serious matters by PIER PAOLO PASOLINI.
A surreal, philosophically dense fable that uses a talking bird and father-son journey to satirize society and grapple with meaning, wrapped in playful, allegorical comedy.
A man and his son take an allegorical stroll through life with a talking bird that spouts social and political philosophy.
