Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the Daffy Duck Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1953 Duck Amuck, directed by Chuck Jones.
This short marks one of many of the instances where Daffy consistently breaks the fourth wall by asking the unknown animator (Bugs) and the audience about the change of scenery.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to share the Burger Fiction video. of The Best James Bond one liners:
By all means, have a martini or two while watching.
We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1964 biblical neorealist masterpiece The Gospel According to St. Matthew, ( Il vangelo secondo Matteo) directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini., and starring Enrique Irazoqui. Pasolini employed many of the techniques of Italian neorealism in the making of his film. Most of the actors he hired were non-professionals. Some of the most intriguing artistic tributes to faith and religion come from nonbelievers. For some, it may be hard to conceive how Pier Paolo Pasolini, a gay Marxist, made what the Vatican considers one of the 45 "great films." in the "religion" category, but that goes directly to brilliance of him as a director. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Gospel According to St. Matthew.
In keeping with his idea of Jesus Christ as the greatest revolutionary of all time, Pier Paolo Pasolini considered casting Jack Kerouac or Allen Ginsberg in the role. He changed his mind when he met Enrique Irazoqui, a Spanish student of literature, who has written a thesis about Pasolini's novel Ragazzi di vita and was very curious to meet him.
