Pier Paolo Pasolinî nacque a Bologna nel 1922.
Pasolini vede nella spirale dei consumi basata su bisogni artificiosamente creati, nello "sviluppo" mitizzato dalla società contemporanea, un meccanismo che stritola culture e valori differenziati da secoli e rende gli esseri umani identici e interscambiabili in un processo di omologazione.
Pasolini aspira ora a una poesia che fonda elementi narrativi, lirici e argomentativi, una poesia che anche da questo punto di vista sia espressione della propria passione e della propria ideologia (Passione e ideologia è il titolo di una raccolta di saggi pubblicata in questi medesimi anni).

Pasolini's resentment of consumerism, of commodification of the human body, literalises the human body, as the human machine, the human being as part of the industrialised process.
Pasolini's explanation of this section was that "the producers, the manufactureres, force the consumer to eat excrement.

 Pasolini's Wheel: Pasolini's View of the Decameron
Pasolini's intention was not to recreate the medieval world of Boccaccio's characters but instead to comment on contemporary Italian society through the metaphorical use of the original novellas of the Decameron.
Pasolini dismantles the bourgeois frame of the brigata and replaces it with two subframes composed of modified novellas from the Decameron.
Pasolini's Ciappelletto is "sacrificed" and manipulated by the bourgeoisie, allowing the usurers to continue with their capitalist pursuits and the Church to appropriate his "good" reputation in order further to mislead the poorer classes through their naive and trusting religious devotion.

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.

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.

 QUO VADIS? THE CINEMA AND FATE OF PIER PAOLO PASOLINI
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.
It is, therefore, with honest intentions (and not for the sake of sensationalism) that Pasolini took his search for the meaning of life into the territory of sex and violence.
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.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini
Outside Italy Pasolini is usually remembered as one of the most significant of the directors who emerged in the second wave of Italian postwar cinema in the early 1960s but, within Italy itself, Pasolini was always much more than just a distinctive and innovative filmmaker.
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.

 Morte di Pasolini e di Caravaggio
Debbo dire che Pasolini, a mio avviso, era profondamente cattolico, nel suo intimo; era formato dall'Italia cattolica, quindi aveva un forte senso del peccato, un forte senso della redenzione, un forte senso della liberazione dal peccato e dal senso di colpa.
L’accostamento di Pasolini a Caravaggio è senza dubbio spericolato per la distanza che li separa, anche se nell’eterno ritorno delle cose e della poesia una giustificazione in più si può trovare.
Anche Pasolini muore vicino a Roma, davanti allo stesso mare, alla foce del Tevere presso Ostia, nome che sa di agnello sacrificale, dove andavano in un lontano passato le anime salve e dove Agostino aveva perso la madre Monica.

 glbtq >> literature >> Pasolini, Pier Paolo
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.

 In the Extreme: Pasolini's Salo
In some respects, Pasolini (as a free-thinking, free-acting artist) was like a Sadean libertine: he would cruise the streets at night looking for young men to hit on (it was one of these lads who ended up killing him).
Pasolini adapted a couple of Greek tragedies, and then made his commercially-successful La trilogia della vita (The Trilogy of Life) comprising Il Decamerone (The Decameron, 1971), I racconti di Canterbury (The Canterbury Tales, 1972) and Il fiore delle mille e una notte (Arabian Nights, 1974).
Pasolini was obviously a restless and adventurous filmmaker, going through more periods in his 15-year career than either Godard or Rossellini did in their much longer careers.

 Biography for Pier Paolo Pasolini   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Pasolini was also a poet, a painter, a novelist and wrote about Semiotics in a paper called 'Il cinema dipoesia' (1965).
Pasolini's artistic work was put on hold in August 1943 when he was conscripted into the Italian army, at that time allied with the Germans.
Pasolini was murdered in 1975 under circumstances that many find suspect; though reportedly bludgeoned to death and run over by a youth to whom he'd made sexual advances, some friends (including Bertolucci) believe he was assassinated for political reasons.

 Pasolini on de Sade
Pier Paolo Pasolini's recent death, apparently stemming from an episode that might have figured in one of de Sade's stories, brings to an end a career that deeply influenced Italian literature (he was also a poet and novelist), linguistic thought and film.
It is therefore all the more surprising that Pasolini should have chosen not just any de Sade work, but this mammoth potsherd, running to over a quarter pf a million words, as the subject of his newest film, giving up a previous project in order to do so.
In judging Pasolini's work, it is perhaps necessary to apply the same tolerance usually accorded to the Marquis: to judge his work as a whole and in historical perspective.

These four individuals: the Duc, the President, the Bishop, and the Magistrate, conceive an elaborate plan to kidnap 18 teenagers and abscond with them to an isolated mountain retreat, taking along their own daughters (who the four main characters have swapped and taken as wives), an entourage of guards, and four prostitutes.
Pasolini also makes it fairly clear that he's indicting his audience and their passivity in watching this scene as well.
Few can look back on Sade's novel or Pasolini's film with fond memories, but even fewer would admit to not being affected by their savage vision.

 Barth David Schwartz : Pasolini Requiem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
"Pasolini Requiem" is by far the most complete biography of the fascinating filmmaker, poet, painter, and political commentator.
One of the more impressive aspects of this massive bio is that it manages to explain Pasolini's well-documented quirks, deviancy, and combativeness without moralizing or defending the subject.
With that one relatively minor caveat, I can easily recommend the book for those interested in artist bios that go beyond superficial criticism, the birth of independent cinema in Europe, the conflict between art and censorship, or Italian life during the World War II era.
