the following. Remember, he's a ground-breaking artist, as inventive and original as Antonioni or any other giant. It may take awhile for you to appreciate his original voice but when you understand his language, you will be in the presence of a unique, very human soul.
"Oedipus Rex:" a remarkable re-telling of the Greek tragedy with evocatively beautiful cinematography and score.
"Mamma Rosa:" a brilliant film about a tragic figure who refuses to capitulate. The main character is one of film's greatest characters; the actress gives one of films's great performances.
"Decameron:" Boccaccio's classic brilliantly interpreted.
