PLOT : Following the radical filmmaker, poet, and author Pier Paolo Pasolini and the important connections to his life from growing up in Bologna, Pasolini pushed the boundaries of film and literature during post World War II in Italy. He often times found himself highly criticized for his political beliefs and taboo topics he wrote or filmed. Moving between the political unrest in Italy and his own personal challenges, and countless charges and lawsuits about the nature of his writings and films, Pasolini somehow still managed to be considered a great director and his films were highly popular. Obsessed with class culture and divide, these struggles made many appearances in his film along with his contempt of consumerism. Through Marrese’s documentary, audiences will get an inside look to one of the world’s most controversial filmmakers.
