  One of the handful of films that found Pier Paolo Pasolini sustaining a merrier mode of cultural assault, Hawks And Sparrows (Uccellacci E Uccellini) features Italy's popular comic actor Tot (known to cinephiles as the star of Roberto Rossellini's Dov' la liberta...?) and Pasolini regular Ninetto Davoli in a picaresque fable that lampoons politics, religion, and the legacy of neorealism.A crow gifted with the power of speech accompanies wandering duo Tot and Ninetto on a trail that leads to their roles as Franciscan friars who preach to the literal hawks and sparrows, before returning in time to gaze upon slum-dwellers, Danteist dentists, itinerant actor-hippies, and, ultimately, the state of the modern world.
