A man and his son take an allegorical stroll through life with a talking bird that spouts social and political philosophy.
Dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini · With Totò, Ninetto Davoli, Femi Benussi

In Italy, a dying woman tells her granddaughter that she hid her treasure many years ago in Russia, in the city of Leningrad. As more people learn about it, they head to Leningrad to find the lion where it is rumoured to be buried.
Dir. Eldar Ryazanov · With Andrey Mironov, Ninetto Davoli, Antonia Santilli

A wealthy Italian household is turned upside down when a handsome stranger arrives, seduces every family member and then disappears. Each has an epiphany of sorts, but none can figure out who the seductive visitor was or why he came.
Dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini · With Terence Stamp, Silvana Mangano, Massimo Girotti
Two dramatic stories. In an undetermined past, a young cannibal (who killed his own father) is condemned to be torn to pieces by some wild beasts. In the second story, Julian, the young son of a post-war German industrialist, is on the way to lie down with his farm's pigs, because he doesn't like human relationships.
Dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini · With Pierre Clémenti, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Alberto Lionello

A young Sicilian is swindled twice, but ends up rich; a man poses as a deaf-mute in a convent of curious nuns; a woman must hide her lover when her husband comes home early; a scoundrel fools a priest on his deathbed; three brothers take revenge on their sister's lover; a young girl sleeps on the roof to meet her boyfriend at night; a group of painters wait for inspiration; a crafty priest attempts to seduce his friend's wife; and two friends make a pact to find out what happens after death.
Dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini · With Franco Citti, Ninetto Davoli, Jovan Jovanović

The final part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life series is rich with exotic tales of slaves and kings, potions, betrayals, demons and, most of all, love and lovemaking in all its myriad forms. Mysterious and liberating, this is an exquisitely dreamlike and adult interpretation of the original folk tales.
Dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini · With Ninetto Davoli, Franco Citti, Franco Merli

Glimpses of Chaucer penning his famous work are sprinkled through this re-enactment of several of his stories.
Dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini · With Hugh Griffith, Laura Betti, Ninetto Davoli

as Er Duca
Two brothers go to London to try to score a sensational blow and kidnap the precious dogs of the Queen of England.
Dir. Volfango De Biasi · With Lillo Petrolo, Claudio Gregori, Paolo Ruffini
We are with Pasolini during the last hours of his life, as he talks with his beloved family and friends, writes, gives a brutally honest interview, shares a meal with Ninetto Davoli, and cruises for the roughest rough trade in his gun-metal gray Alfa Romeo. Over the course of the action, Pasolini’s life and his art are constantly refracted and intermingled to the point where they become one.
Dir. Abel Ferrara · With Willem Dafoe, Ninetto Davoli, Riccardo Scamarcio
