Ro.Go.Pa.G.
Gay Beginnings of the End of the World
Directed by Roberto Rossellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jean-Luc Godard, Ugo Gregoretti
Produced by Arco Film, Cineriz
A provocative, formally experimental anthology that uses absurdist vignettes and dark satire to critique modern consumer culture and social hypocrisy.
Four short films by four different directors dealing with the principles of modern life. "Illibatezza" (Rossellini): The hostess Anna Maria, to dissuade an aggressive suitor who prefers maternal tendencies, assumes an unscrupulous attitude, obeying the suggestions of her distant boyfriend. "The New World" (Godard): The deflagration of an atomic bomb causes strange effects on the inhabitants of a city. "La ricotta" (Pasolini): During the filming of a film about a religious subject, the extra Stracci dies hanging on the cross due to an indigestion of ricotta. "Il pollo spante" (Gregoretti): While an expert illustrates to a board of merchants the most modern techniques to increase sales through the discovery of the secret self of the average consumer, the human story of a bourgeois who, following these suggestions, focuses on the purchase of a plot of land in the countryside.
