  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.
