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.

"The Hawks and the Sparrows," a wild comic fable, stars the beloved stone faced clown Toto as an Italian everyman, and Ninetto Davoli as his good-natured but empty-headed son. Director Pier Paolo Pasolini presents two delightful innocents caught, like many Italians, between the Church and Marxism.
