La Ricotta, Oedipus Rex

The third (and considered by most to be the best) installment of the omnibus film RoGoPaG, La ricotta stars Orson Welles as a Pasolini-like director working on a production of the Passion of Christ. (35 mins., 35mm) Adapted from the Greek tragedy, Oedipus Rex follows a baby in prewar Italy who has been abandoned in the desert by his father. The location then changes to the ancient world where the baby, Edipo, matures and learns of the prophecy that says he will kill his father and marry his mother. (110 mins., 35mm)
