😸
Edition screened: Eureka! Masters of Cinema Blu-ray #38, released 2012. Italian language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 126 minutes.
Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.
Ro.Go.Pa.G. provides a much more satisfying viewing experience than most European portmanteau films of the 1960s, even entertaining and amusing from time to time. The high point is Orson Welles’ speech to an intruding newspaper reporter in La Ricotta. Playing the Director of a movie about The Crucifixion, Welles’ words are Godard, his clothes are Rossellini, his physical presence is Fellini, and his behavior is Pasolini.
