Requiescant (often translated as Kill and Pray) is a 1967 Spaghetti Western film directed by Carlo Lizzani and starring Lou Castel, Mark Damon, Barbara Frey and Pier Paolo Pasolini, in one of his few acting roles.
When Requiescant learns of his true identity, he supports the priest Don Juan (played by renowned writer, poet and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini) in his uprising against Ferguson.
[3] Journalist Ermanno Comuzio praised it, saying: “The film is halfway between the traditional western style and the new cinema - the usual motifs mix with themes of a democratic movement.
Both believe only in their own truth; the revolutionary underdog Don Juan, who was forced to join the revolution and fight against the oppressors, and on the other side the aristocrat Ferguson, who cannot accept the fact that there can be equality between the ruling and the ruled.” The German Lexicon of international film described Requiescant as a “realistic western (with Pasolini in the role of a priest) about pre-revolution Mexico, without sufficient psychological foundation and with a certain dose of brutality”.
