This omnibus film, whose title is an abbreviation of the directors' last names, consists of four shorts: Rossellini's "Illibatezza" ("Chastity") tells the story of a flight attendant who rebuffs the unwanted attention of an American passenger by returning his overtures with aggressive ones of her own, which she records on a video camera to send to her fiance back home. Set in Paris after a nuclear holocaust, Godard's "Il Nuovo mondo" ("New World") examines the startling changes in behavior that take place in the survivors. In Pasolini's "La Ricotta," an impoverished bit player in "The Passion of Christ" struggles to feed himself and his family in the midst of an uncaring milieu. Gregoretti's "Il Pollo ruspante" ("Free Range Chicken") juxtaposes the odyssey of an Italian middle class family with the lecture of a marketing executive who teaches businessmen how to stimulate consumption. In Italian with English subtitles. Not Rated. 122 minutes. 16mm. Italy, France (1963) Dirs: Jean-Luc Godard, Ugo Gregoretti, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Roberto Rossellini.
