	Pier Paolo Pasolini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1926, however, Pasolini's father was arrested for gambling debts, and his mother moved to her family's house in Casarsa, in the Friuli region.
		Pasolini found it difficult to adapt to all these moves, though in the meantime he enlarged his poetry and literature readings (Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Shakespeare, Coleridge, Novalis) and left behind the religious fervor of his early years.
		Pasolini's poetry, lesser known outside of Italy, often deals with his highly revered mother and his same-sex love interests, but this is not the main and only theme.

	Pier Paolo Pasolini's Theorem
		Pasolini’s father was an army officer in the Carabinieri, a convinced Fascist and was of aristocratic origin.
		Pasolini's mother was of the peasantry albeit well off in her class and Pasolini displays great affection towards her, most notably in his poem “Prayer to My Mother” (1962).
		Consequently Pasolini was arrested and imprisoned for the supposed blasphemous irreverence of the episode.

	Biography of Pier Paolo Pasolini
		Pier Paolo Pasolini (March 5, 1922 - November 2, 1975) was a gay Italian poet, film director, and writer, who, in his films about the socially outcast and rebellious, frequently used amateur actors.
		Pasolini, as a director, created a sort of second neorealism, which deeply and constantly touched picaresque tones, showing a sad reality - hidden, but real, concrete - which many social and political lobbies had no interest in seeing brought to light.
		Pasolini was murdered brutally by Pino Pelosi, a hustler, by being run over several times with his own car at the beach of Ostia near Rome.

	Pier-Paolo Pasolini \| Biography (1922-1975)
		Pasolini grew up with a dislike of institutionalized religion (his father was a non- believer who made the family go to church for social reasons) and was not a practising Catholic; however, he also admired his mother's 'poetic and natural' sense of religion and admitted in himself a tendency towards mysticism:
		But Pasolini's interest in peasant dialects does not simply relate to his family, it also attests to a somewhat backward-looking, romantic, idealized vision of the peasantry as a source of 'true, natural values' which is as prevalent in his cinematic as his literary works.
		Pasolini was battered to death by a teenage youth shortly after completing Salo on November2, 1975, in circumstances that still remain clouded and controversial.

		Pasolini's work, however - and this is a special aspect of its structure - is a mimesis of reality that appraches ever more closely to reality itself, as if it were an imitation in movement with the rhythm of the days and hours.
		In fact, the mimesis carried out by Pasolini of what was to be the final reality of his life ceased to be imitation when it coincided perfectly with the reality, in the last cultural rite.
		Pasolini, therefore, accelerating his step in this direction, declares in a note to the poem La ricerca del relativo (The Search for the Relative) that, for him, diegesis is story and mimesis is description.

		Pasolini's fusion of Marxism, sex and religion stars a very young and attractive Terence Stamp as a divine stranger who enters the household of a bourgeois family and profoundly affects their lives when he seduces the mother, father, son, daughter and maid.
		Pasolini's last film is an unbelievably bleak and depressing vision of the human condition which shocked audiences with its brutally graphic scenes of sexual degradation and oppressive violence.
		Pasolini later escaped from a German prison camp and settled in the countryside of Friuli, Italy.

	Pier Paolo Pasolini @ Filmbug
		Pier Paolo Pasolini (March 5, 1922 - November 2, 1975) was an Italian poet, film director, and writer, who, in his films about the socially outcast and rebellious, frequently used amateur actors.
		Pasolini, as a director, created a sort of second neorealism, which deeply and constantly touched the picaresque tones, showing a sad reality - hidden, but real, concrete - which many social and political lobbies had no interest to see brought to evidence.
		The doubt that Pasolini often inserted in his works, that such realities are less far from us than we could imagine, is one of his major contributions to a change into the Italian costume, and an unrepeated example of poetry applied to cruel realities.

	DIRELAND: RESTORING PASOLINI (Updated)
		Pier Paolo Pasolini was born in 1922 into a family of modest means, and spent his first 20 years in the impoverished region of Friuli, whose mountains, plains and valleys are in the northeastern corner of Italy, just above Trieste.
		Pasolini — who started writing poetry at the age of 7 — began winning poetry prizes at 19, and published his first volume of poems at the age of 20, while teaching elementary school and writing political reportage (especially on the postwar peasant rebellions) and literary criticism for the local newspapers to support himself.
		Pasolini (right) refused to give up his political commitments, and as a result was arrested by the police for “corruption of a minor” in a case involving a 16-year-old lad, after the priest informed on him.

	Jim's Reviews - Films of Pier Paolo Pasolini
		Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–1975) has the dubious distinction of being the only great filmmaker who was murdered, possibly at the behest of a right-wing faction which loathed the openly gay, Marxist, atheist –; and popular – artist.
		Pasolini was one of the most prodigiously gifted artists of the twentieth century: poet, novelist, literary and political theorist, screenwriter, actor, cinematographer, editor, composer, producer, and the director of twenty-five films.
		Pasolini considered himself primarily a poet, despite his acclaimed, albeit controversial, work as a novelist, a literary and political theorist and, of course, a filmmaker.

	Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922 - 1975)
		Pier Paolo Pasolini (March 5, 1922 - November 2, 1975) was a Italian poet, film director, and writer, who, in his films about the socially outcast and rebellious, frequently used amateur actors.
		The Decameron was the first of director Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life." The film, based on the sexually supercharged tales of Boccaccio, is a patchwork of many of Pasolini's favorite themes, with a surprising endorsement of heterosexuality-- specifically female heterosexuality--included in the proceedings.
		Pasolini approaches the material not like a literary classic to be reverently served, but rather as if the various anecdotes were episodes from scruffy, everyday life in medieval Italy, caught on the fly, like neighborhood gossip recounted in a taverna.

		Pasolini's sympathies, however, would always remain with his mother, a schoolteacher who cultivated a love of poetry and who transmitted this devotion to her son.
		Pasolini was consequently tried for the offence and received a three-month suspended sentence, even if this was later quashed on appeal and the film eventually allowed to be released with significant cuts.
		For Pasolini this clash was still going on, in Italy in the inarrestible destruction of traditional peasant culture by the spread of neocapitalist consumerism and in the world at large in the exploitation of the Third World.

		Pasolini referred himself as a 'Catholic Marxist' and often used shocking juxtapositions of imagery to expose the vapidity of values in modern society.
		Pier Paolo Pasolini was born in Bologna, traditionally the most left-wing of Italian cities.
		Pasolini shot most of the film in Lucan and Calabria, not far from the regions, which were depicted in Carlo Levi's (1902-1975) novel Christo si è fermato a Eboli (1945).

		Accordingly, Pasolini was forced to relocate to Rome in 1950, where, after a brief and unsatisfying stint as a screenwriter, he decided to work as a film director.
		Pasolini's impossible desire -- to seize the world directly without the mediating screen always implicit in artistic creation -- is clearly part of a long poetic tradition that may have reached its apogee in the symbolist poets he so loved.
		The corruption of Medea, manifested in her willingness to assist Jason in his theft of the sacred relic of the golden fleece, symbolizes for Pasolini the all too common fate of indigenous cultures exposed to the conquering, consumerist mentality of the secularized nations of the West.

		Most of Pasolini's fiction and much of his poetry is shaped by his fascination with the lives of subproletarian youths, first in Friuli and then in the sprawling outskirts of Rome.
		Pasolini's celebrations of young masculinity in all its cruelty, scatology, and eroticism were clearly out of step with the idealizing mythologies that emanated from both the Vatican and Moscow.
		As Pasolini was gradually drawn into the intellectual community of Rome in the 1950s, he inevitably met and began to collaborate with some of the new-wave Italian filmmakers as well as writers.

	Pier Paolo Pasolini - English (1)
		Pier Paolo Pasolini (Bologna 1922-Roma 1975), is one of the greatest Italian writers of the 20th century; he was also devoted to the cinema.
		Pasolini, with his political, civil and artistic engagement, had principally the aim of denouncing and impeding the cultural homologation and the anthropological mutation of Italian people.
		Pasolini has often been called a "provocative witness" but this sublime malediction has not been directed by a narcissism of the poet and by the advertising fancy of an editor; in this sort of slogan there was an instinctive, immediate, almost skin-deep but deep, implacable truth.

		The closest literary models are those pre-novelistic anthologies or story cycles -- "The Canterbury Tales," "The Decameron" and "The Thousand and One Nights" -- that Pasolini had adapted and directed as films in his "Trilogy of Life." Yet it would also have been as contemporary as the newspaper.
		People in the Italian petroleum industry must be relieved to find that Pasolini never managed to incorporate -- as he planned -- "an enormous quantity of historical documents that have some bearing on the events of the book...
		Only a reader utterly fascinated by Pasolini's life and work will make it to the end -- which turns out, of course, to be no conclusion at all.

		Pasolini himself appears briefly as Chaucer in a non-speaking role that one regrets he didn't enlarge for himself in this sprawling tableaux of pilgrim's tales (Ken Russell's excesses from the same period come to mind).
		Pasolini demands a melodramatic acting style, a throwback to the storytelling times - and there are moments in the film where he pays homage to Chaplin and the Keystone Cops.
		Pasolini has concentrated on the raunchier aspects of Chaucer's tales, added a few of his own for good measure, and produced one of the great hedonistic films of all time.

		To this day the photos of the burnt, mangled corpse of Pier Paolo Pasolini lying on the beachside in Ostia, Italy are still among the most shocking images one could ever see.
		Through cinema Pasolini sought to express his conviction that the sacred quality of life is to be found not in any religion, but in life itself, in its naturalness.
		As long as Pasolini was seeking in an upward direction, trying to find through his cinema the connection with the Natural Holiness of All, he saw that everything, including the body, was beautiful and had a purpose.
