Biography
Né aux portes de Rome (Fiumicino abrite aujourd'hui l'aéroport international de la capitale), Citti connaît très bien le dialecte romain et son argot. C'est pour cette raison que Pasolini, qui, dans les années 1950, avait besoin d'aide pour ses ouvrages très romains, Les Ragazzi et Une vie violente, fait appel à lui ; Citti devient son « consultant en dialecte ». Pasolini l'appellera son « dictionnaire vivant ».En 1959, Citti écrit le scénario du film Les Garçons de Mauro Bolognini. Il travaille ensuite sur tous les films dits romains de Pasolini, notamment, avec l'aide de son frère Franco, sur les scénarios des premiers films de son ami, Accattone (1961) et Mamma Roma (1962). Il fait également une courte apparition dans Accattone, où il joue un serveur.
Avec le temps, il acquiert une expérience cinématographique qui lui permet d'assister Pasolini sur La Ricotta (1962), Des oiseaux, petits et gros (1965), La Terra vista dalla Luna (1966), Che cosa sono le nuvole?

Franco Melis est un acteur comique, qui a eu beaucoup de succès depuis la fin des années 1970, mais qui a dilapidé ses profits au fil des ans. Dans la solitude et sans argent il trouve la force de réagir à sa dépression et grâce à son manager, Renzo Polpo, il trouve un rôle dans un film très éloigné de ses précédentes performances. Le film est présenté dans un festival du film de haut niveau et semble avoir des chances légitimes de victoire.

The film traces the last hours of the life of poet and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini. The poet is killed at night in 1975 on the beach at Ostia, near Rome. A boy is arrested: Pino Pelosi, and charged with murder. The police and judges believe that Pelosi is the only murderer of Pasolini, but his injuries on the body of the poet are too severe and profound. Then are called to bear witness to the death of the poet his sister and his mother, destroyed by grief. As the process unfolds, the film examines the personality of Pasolini, and his works and, above all explains what people think of him in Italy. Pasolini according to some Italians was a provocative man: he deserved what he suffered, having been a Communist and a homosexual. Instead, his friends and intellectuals remember him as a very good and sensible man, who sought only to fight against neo-fascism and the cruel and bigoted mentality of middle-class society.

She is willing to try, but when a client begins pawing her she cries and gets out of the car. Accattone tries to support her, but gives up on honest labor after one day, and following a bizarre vision of his own death, is killed in a traffic accident when he tries to evade the police on a stolen motorcycle.

Francis and John are two tramps on the outskirts of Rome, forced to rummage through the trash forever in search of food. They meet and make friends and through a misunderstanding are arrested. They are locked up in the security cell of the police station with The Maestro, a poor but well-dressed specialist in running away from the restaurants, taverns and eateries of Rome after having gorged without paying. Upon release, the three come together late in the evening and go to a restaurant where, at the end of a memorable binge (tagliatelle, tripe with tomato sauce, oxtail, asparagus, mozzarella with tomatoes, lamb with potatoes), and concoct a clever ruse to escape and cheat the owner Attilio. In running away, they fall into a cold and smelly mud puddle and take refuge in a cattle car to dry off and warm up. They fall asleep and wake to find themselves in a small town in Tuscany, and then begin to wander in the countryside of Poggibonsi (Siena). They try to scrounge food from the old woman Beatrice, but she does not even know how to feed the seven children living with her, and she is forced to sacrifice his old turtle. By and by they come across a restaurant owned by two hunters, who are in the habit of serving the customers only after enjoying their own comfortable meal and who keep their waiter chained up like a dog. The three friends release the waiter and decide to leave the restaurant without eating, sensing the danger of being caught and shot. After further wanderings, they are nearly lynched by a group of laborers after being caught eating the temporarily unguarded soup at the laborers' table. Left tied up while the mob goes off for a while, they are freed by the waiter who they had recently saved, who joins them. The waiter leads them to an old inn but when they arrive they are dismayed to learn that it has been turned into a funeral home.

The first half sums up the story of Jason and the Argonauts as they travel to Medea's barbarian land in search of the golden fleece. In fitting with the soundtrack (which features North African tribal music), Pasolini depicts Medea's people as a tribal people who perform rituals and sacrifices to secure their harvests. Their costumes and dances are based on those of Eastern European Mummers such as the Romanian Calusari ceremonies and their counterparts in the Balkans.
