An excellent drama that nails the period its set in helped along by a terrific cast, especially Lucy Boynton in the lead. It's a well known story and we all know where it's going, but that doesn't stop the ending from being totally devastating.
It looks good, has plenty of style and a good cast, plus some nice bits of gore, but the story just isn't strong enough to sustain the length, 20 mins shorter might have improved things.
An appeal to UNESCO to make the city a World Heritage Site, including some good shots of the city. It would eventually become one, but not until the mid-80's, a decade after Pasolini's death.
