The mid section depicts a time outside of history - it is here that the myth of Oedipus (portrayed by Franco Citti of Accattone and Coppola's The Godfather), one of patricide and incest, plays out opposite the young man's mother/lover (Silvana Mangano). An epilogue shot on the streets of present-day Bologna finds Oedipus playing his flute for a bustling citizenry.

  Based on the mythical Sophoclean dramas Pier Paolo Pasolini's powerful film is a faithful retelling of the Oedipus story framed within a prologue and epilogue set in 1960s Bologna. The tale unfolds in an unidentified desert where choosing to ignore the warnings of the blind soothsayer Oedipus (Pasolini regular Franco Citti) sets out on a fateful journey that will see him break the taboos of patricide and maternal incest. Poetic and dream-like Pasolini's Oedipus Rex boldly tackles its controversial subject matter head on and stands amongst the finest achievements from one of Italian cinema's leading innovators.
