Kaos (Taviani Brothers  |  Italy, 1984  |  188 minutes  |  Rated 15)

Based on the short stories of Pirandello, Kaos marries Italian cinematic neorealism with the lyricism of folk tales, among them the story of the bride who discovers her husband is a werewolf on their wedding night, and the hapless landlord who becomes stuck in an enormous clay pot. Effortlessly combining the comic, the tragic, the uncanny and the profound, Kaos is a rich, kaleidoscopic work of folk cinema.
