La ricotta 1963
35min | Short | 19 February 1963 (Italy)
Storyline:
Made as part of the omnibus film Rogapog, this short is a hilarious religious farce. At the Cinecittá film studio a director (played by Orson Wells) begins shooting a film dealing with Christ’s cruxification. Among the cast is a Jesus who has sex with boys in the bushes, and a peasant who plays one of the thieves crucified alongside Jesus – the actor literally dies on the cross, but not of inflicted wounds, but of indigestion caused by too much ice cream.
In this docu-drama, a group of dedicated youngsters, ranging in age from eight to eighteen, live and breathe the controversial sport of bullfighting as well as the world of machismo. This coming-of-age film features the students themselves.
