      Pasolini with half face

      In the history of film, it is not uncommon to put the perspective on the director himself to dig deeper into his personal creative state and inner world. In his masterpiece "Eight and a Half", Fellini turned the film into a form similar to psychological analysis, to express his creative confusion in the film business system-----he first Borrowing a scene of "people are trapped in cars and then fly out of the car window" to metaphorize the creative state of being trapped under the demands of...

      The last two days of the leftist poet's life

      Like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, Abel Ferrara is an Italian-American director. The Italian film master Pierre Paolo Pasolini, who died early, was, in a sense, Ferrara's film teacher. In 1975, shortly after entering the film industry, Pasolini was beaten to death by a 17-year-old male prostitute on the seaside outside Rome. When he heard the news, Ferrara made up his mind to make a movie. Biographical film about Pasolini's life.

      Master of the Dawn

      1. There are no people, but cars that collide with each other, school order, and social civilization are all tools to alienate people.

      2. Humanity's use of civilization under the guise of civilization does not make humanity progress, but may sometimes create a greater abyss of humanity.

      3. Behind the progress of society is the emptiness of the huge human mind.

      4. Sex remains the most operable socially deconstructing force imaginable.

      5. The director is a sincere and...

      Pasolini, who speaks English the whole time, feels weirdest

      It might be more accurate to change the film's title to Pasolini's Last Day. For viewers unfamiliar with the famous Italian director, the story here is not too curious, except for the murder scene at the end; and for the loyal fans of Pasolini, this film will surely make them greatly Disappointing, there is really nothing to watch, and the whole process is basically Pasolini who speaks English, which greatly reduces the sense of authenticity in the minds of many fans.

      [Film Review] Pasolini (2014) 6.9 / 10

      Abel Ferrara’s long-gestated biopic of Pier Paolo Pasolini has its congenital defect, by cast Willem Dafoe (albeit his striking physical resemblance) as the maestro, hence, the prominent anglophone dialog is rightly incongruous with its milieu and becomes more problematic because the rest Italian cast must follow suit, even for the venerable actress Adriana Asti, who plays Pasolini’s senior mother,...

      A poetic look back at Pasolini's last days. The most controversial Italian film director. The movie itself is too fragmented. The last week of the director's life. The wheels run over a free sensual poetic...

      Director Ferrara's admiration for Pasolini is fully reflected in almost every scene, but he seems to be tied, whether it is restoring Pasolini's new film or telling Pasolini's last two days. Stories make people feel alienated. Pasolini has always had the greatest passion for life, which is not seen in this film at all. Two for Willem Dafoe, for bringing Pasolini to the...

    Movie plot

    In 1975, Pasolini had just returned from Sweden and he was battling over the editing of the infamous film "120 Days of Sodom," bent on proving his point that sex was politics. Accused of "giving up the fight", Pasolini is more politically focused than ever.
    He drove to Ostia Beach and rounded up a male worker from a pimp. They ate and rained, but in the end, a group of same-sex thugs came and killed Pasolini en masse.
