Quick Info
On 2 November 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, near Rome. Alberto Moravia would later say: ‘... the murderers were the arm that killed Pasolini, but the clients were thousands, basically the whole of Italian society.’ No one in Italy was better known than Pasolini, the poet, writer, film-maker, essayist and painter, who wrote political columns in the best-known Italian newspapers for many years and gave countless interviews. No one was so attacked by the political public - 33 lawsuits were brought against him, among other things because of his homosexuality and his films. At the time of his murder, he was editing the film ‘Salo, the 120 days of Sodom’ and writing the monumental novel ‘Petrolio’: Chapter 21 disappeared, in which Pasolini presumably revealed hidden connections between politics, institutions and - possibly - the Mafia. Nobody knows about it to this day. It is obvious that the murder was an organised crime, even if it has still not been dealt with.
The production takes us into Pasolini's inner world, his immense creative power allows us to recognise to this day how strong his will to express himself and his political intentions were.
