Nice try, asshole

Directed by: Pier Paolo Pasolini
Starring: Silvana Mangano, Franco Citti, Alida Valli, Carmelo Bene, Julian Beck

Reasonably interesting when there's stuff going on (despite some horrible dubbing, hammy acting, and overall sloppiness) but in between there's a whole lot of boring blah. Endless scenes of Oedipus walking, walking, walking. And I saw the same long, slow pan of the city at least three times. Noteworthy only for the way the story is bookended by shifts between the modern and ancient world.

RATING: 2

PROS: good story; unusual beginning and end
CONS: tedious and sloppy

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061613/
