About the author

Italian poet, novelist, critic, essayst, journalist, translator, dramatist, film director, screenwriter and philosopher, often regarded as one of the greatest minds of XX century, was murdered violently in Rome in 1975 in circumstances not yet been clarified. Pasolini is best known outside Italy for his films, many of which were based on literary sources - The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales...

Pasolini referred himself as a 'Catholic Marxist' and often used shocking juxtapositions of imagery to expose the vapidity of values in modern society.
His essays and newspaper articles often critized the capitalistic omologation and also often contributed to public controversies which had made him many enemies. In the weeks leading up to his murder he had condemned Italy's political class for its corruption, for neo-fascist terrorist conspiracy and for collusion with the Mafia and the infamous "Propaganda 2" masonic lodge of Licio Gelli and Eugenio Cefis.

His friend, the writer Alberto Moravia, considered him "the major Italian poet" of the second half of the 20th century.

Reviews

[Elisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

罗马观察家。50年代初的罗马故事主要是一些田园诗品质的碎片，固体的，静态的，不太均匀地压缩在一起（一个嗅觉层面十分敏感的时期，XD）。十年后的剧本里，他的语言变得流动，迅疾，光一般升腾逝去，一刻也不再停留（然而年轻时的棱角和密度也慢慢被吸收了）。剩下的是介于两者之间的诗歌或散文片段（没多大意思）。这让人觉得他早在开始正经写长篇小说的时候（54-59），就必定要进入电影，小说只是过渡再说他也不怎么会写。他看到的中年的自己是属于电影的。
