Pier Paolo Pasolini alters Sophocles' classic Greek tragedy for the big screen, shifting scenes between the heat of the Moroccan desert and the streets of pre-war Bologna, Italy. Fleeing from an oracle's prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother, young Edipo (Franco Citti) leaves his place as the adopted son of the king and queen of Corinth. But is his fight with a strange man on the road a mere scuffle or a matter of destiny?

"3.5. (Teatteri/35 mm) Rumaakin rumempana, paskaan putoavana pallinaamana muistettava Ninetto Davoli on iloinen, vaikka sfinksi terrorisoi Thebaa ja Oidipus sohii itseään puukolla silmiin. Tämä legenda sopii muuten passelisti myös Suomeen, jossa hyvinvointivaltion kasvatit paraikaa murhaavat isäänsä ja nussivat äitiään."
