About this product

Product Information

ROGOPAG is an anthology of four short films by a quartet of world-renowned directors. Roberto Rosselini's ILLIBATEZZA (Virginity) chronicles a beautiful Italian stewardess's efforts to dissuade a desperate American suitor despite his near-psychotic persistence. Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial LA RICOTTA (Curd Cheese) takes an irony-laden look at the bizarre goings-on during a film shoot that aims to re-create the Biblical story of Jesus (starring Orson Welles as an incredibly pretentious director). Jean-Luc Godard's IL NUEVO MONDO (New World) equates the ending of a problematic love affair with a tragic nuclear holocaust. And finally, Ugo Gregoretti's IL POLLO RUSPANTE (Range-Grown Chicken) takes a comedic--and tragic--look at the world of advertising, as a young family treks into the country to contemplate buying a plot of land. With these shorts, each director takes time to further explore the themes that permeate their feature-length works, focusing on issues of religion, jealousy, and corporate influence in the early 1960s. Blending satire, melodrama, and social commentary, the overall result is a vital historical time capsule as well as a lighthearted work of entertainment that foreign film afficionados are sure to enjoy. The four shorts feature standout performances from Rosanna Schiaffino, Ugo Tognazzi, Lisa Gastoni, and Welles.
