In the late Sixties Italian Cinema confronts the interegenerational conflict that will explode soon in 1968 with the students' movement. Using a Girardian framework and identifying the young generation of the children of the bourgeoisie as the scapegoat of the age, my project retraces a common ground between four movies - Fists in the pocket (1965) by Piergiorgio Bellocchio, Theorem (1968) and Pigsty (1969) by Pier Paolo Pasolini and Cannibals (1970) by Liliana Cavani. I identify, under the narrative of violent upheaval that explodes the institutions of Family and State, a scapegoating motif that is expressed in the annihilating fate of the late Sixties bourgeois youth, dictated either by a hidden compulsion to comformism or by a totalitarian response in the Oedipal power struggle.
