Pasolini

Pasolini

A kaleidoscopic look at the last day of Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini in 1975.

201487 min5.7 / 10

A fragmented, introspective portrait of Pasolini's final hours that dissolves the boundary between his life and artistic vision, suffused with melancholy and intellectual rigor.

We are with Pasolini during the last hours of his life, as he talks with his beloved family and friends, writes, gives a brutally honest interview, shares a meal with Ninetto Davoli, and cruises for the roughest rough trade in his gun-metal gray Alfa Romeo. Over the course of the action, Pasolini’s life and his art are constantly refracted and intermingled to the point where they become one.
