As a poet, novelist, scriptwriter, author,
literary critic, essay writerand polemicist, Pasolini was
among the most controversial and provocative figures ever
to have an impact on the national and international culture
and cinema community of the past century.
He was among the few that focused more on the subject matter
rather than the film making itself, this way he brought the
evolution of the Italian society forever at odds to the screen.
Pasolini's on-the-edge lifestyle led him to stand up against
all stereotypes and categories.
During the student riots between the 60's and 70's, he'd write
indefense of the policemen coming from lower class families
as opposed to the spoiled high and middle class brats taking
to the streets.
He was brutally murdered by the hand of a male hustler before
a speech to be held at the Radical party meeting.
The investigations lacked coherence and the case is still
not completely explained.
This thick volume contains more than 120 pages which act
as anofficial tribute to his astounding career.
A whole section features a collection of posters and rare
pictures from his films, behind-the-scene and on-the-set images,
and a complete filmography.
