IMDB


Roberto Rossellini’s "Illibatezza (Virginity)" (32:10 min) is a richly satiric commentary on the subject of illusion and reality.
Jean-Luc Godard’s "Il Nuovo Mondo (The New World)" (19:53 min) presents a glacial view of a postapocalyptic Paris narrated by the only person unaffected by an atomic explosion and is a precursor to his feature Alphaville.
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s "La Ricotta (Cream Cheese)" (34:48 min) stars Orson Welles and resulted in the director being put on trial and charged with "insulting the religion of the state."
Ugo Gregoretti’s "Il Pollo Ruspante" (The RangeGrown Chicken) (33:44) stars Ugo Tognazzi as the frazzled head of a middleclass family who has been brainwashed by the slogans of consumerism.


The strange title combines the abbreviations of the four directors (Roberto Rossellini, Jean-Luc Godard, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and the relatively unknown Ugo Gregoretti) responsible for the sketches in this much-better-than-average Italian feature of 1962, when the art of cinema was in an especially lively phase. I don't recall the Gregoretti segment, but the other three make this well worth the price of admission, even if Rossellini's sketch and Godard's "The New World" (a rough draft for Alphaville) are ultimately more interesting than satisfying. Pasolini's episode, about the shooting of a biblical spectacular, with Orson Welles as the Felliniesque director, is mind-bogglingly wonderful.
