Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The crow's performance is the best thing in it.

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.

fresh:
Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Hawks and the Sparrows is a whimsical fantasy about Christianity and Marxism; the question is left open as to whether Pasolini believes in either, or neither.

Pier Paolo Pasolini was a major theorist as well as a leader in the Italian avant-garde.
