hilarious. an operatic voice screams out the names of the production crew during the opening titles. this sets the mood for a riotous comedy satire about little crows that walk with you and speak idealism, St. Francis of Assisi, and moody over sexed clowns.
and this is probably one of Pasolini's milder films. at least it wasn't 'Salo'. i have a lot of respect for 'Salo' technically, especially since i saw the beautiful Criterion Collection restoration. but i find Sade really hard to take and 'Salo' can be so disgusting it just makes the whole Sade thing worse. aside from a little sexual suggestion, 'Hawks and the Sparrows' is almost a family film. almost. i don't think any Pasolini film is for children or families.
this is also one of the more humorous and sweetly oddball of all the Paolini films i've seen. aside from the cruelty dealt the little crow at the end, most of the situations are played for sentiment and humor.
i didn't think the little crow deserved his fate at the end. even if he was being tiresome and boring. but i've seen cuter crows. the crow here was kinda scruffy. the street i live on is pretty much "crowhaven farm". i mean the crows literally flock here in large groups and i try to feed them because they're really cute and can hop around in the most adorable way. so if you want to see really cute crows i suggest you try my street.
