Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A sort of Marxist Hellzapoppin, politicized vaudeville and skittery poesy, an open structure overflowing with gags and ideas

Rating: 3.5/5 --
The genial, humorous and compassionate way in which these generalizations are conveyed, with the wonderful Italian clown, Toto, and Ninetto Davoli playing the father and son, is so lively and fascinating, so primitive and droll.

Rating: 3/4 --
A whimsical fantasy about Christianity and Marxism; the question is left open as to whether Pasolini believes in either, or neither. Not that it matters much, Pasolini seems to say.

Product Description:
Pasolini's fanciful, philosophical fable about a father (Italian clown Toto) and son (Nino Davoli) whose encounter with a talking crow catapults them along a satirical journey of knowledge about the two pillars of modern Italian life--the Church and Marxism.
