Synopsis

Our take

Imbued with the filmmaker’s poetic words and riotous spirit, this documentary combines the calm reading of his texts with recordings of Pasolini’s impassioned speech. The wide range of archival footage provide a dizzying and beautiful account of exhilarating, troubled times in Italian history.
