La ricotta poster

Released in 1963, La ricotta is a notable film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

What it’s about. Pier Paolo Pasolini’s contribution to the omnibus film RO.GO.PA.G casts Orson Welles as a director attempting to make a film of the crucifixion of Jesus—all while he, the cast, and crew behave in the most un-Christlike ways imaginable. Making explicit Pasolini’s themes of persecution and sacrifice while introducing an overtly political message, LA RICOTTA also reflects a shift from neorealism toward a more symbolic and visionary style in his filmmaking. It got him sentenced to several months in prison for contempt of religion, although the charge was reversed.

How it landed. With an audience score of 8.0/10, La ricotta sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
