On 2 November 1975, aged just 53, Pier Paolo Pasolini, the outspoken writer, filmmaker and Marxist was found dead on a beach on the outskirts of Rome, left badly beaten and run over by his own car. His murder ignited a series of theories and conspiracies that continue to this day, with the case still open despite a conviction. In Pasolini, opening in selected cinemas on 11 September, director Abel Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant, Welcome to New York) charts the last day in the legendary Italian’s extraordinary life. He layers real events with vibrant imaginary scenes from an unmade Pasolini film, to create a cool and engaging portrayal of a fearless intellectual who was irresistibly drawn to the low-life on the streets.
Opening on 11th September 2015 at the ICA, HOME Manchester, Glasgow Film Theatre, Watershed Bristol, Tyneside Cinema, QFT Belfast and selected cinemas UK-wide. Also launching on BFI Player. At BFI Southbank, Ciné Lumière and other West End sites from 18th September. |
