A Question of Honor . . .

Or, in Italian, Una questione d'onore.  Directed by Luigi Zampa and released in 1966, it's a broad satire of family feuds and honor killings in Sardinia--darkly hilarious, outrageous, and original. And as if a documentary about the culture of the region were embedded in it, the film also offers extraordinary scenes of Sardinian music, dancing, and courtship and wedding customs. 

I just saw A Question of Honor at MOMA, where it's part of a series of films starring the actor Ugo Tognazzi, billed as Tragedies of a Ridiculous Man. I hope to catch more of the other gems in the series.

You have one more chance to see this one--on December 13, at 7:30.
