The Hawks and the Sparrows
ComedyDramaFantasy89 min
A father and his son wander through Italy in an allegorical comic fable, trailed by a talking crow whose running commentary turns their walk into a debate about politics, faith, and class. Totò is the weary older traveler, with Ninetto Davoli beside him as his younger companion. As the pair drift from one encounter to the next, the film folds everyday life into parable, mixing street-level comedy with mythology, religious imagery, and satire aimed at the modern world.
