Tag / Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pigsty (1969)

  • Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1969, Italy, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • Leave a comment

This could be Pasoliniโ€™s most oblique workโ€”a diptych that examines the nature of latent fascism and fetishistic consumption through the symbolism of cannibalism and the erasure of bodily traces.

Oedipus Rex (1967)

  • Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1967, Italy, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • Leave a comment

This solid mythical epic based on Sophoclesโ€™ most famous text sees Pasolini passionately delivering a rousing tragedy, a precursor and counterpoint to his boisterous and even more provocative โ€˜Trilogy of Lifeโ€™.ย ย ย

Hawks and Sparrows (1966)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1966, Italy, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • Leave a comment

A talking Marxist-leaning crow accompanies an old man and his son as Pasolini fashions a lukewarm comedy with absurdist undertones as it pokes fun at religion, politics and society.

Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 10 Comments

Perverse, disturbing and chilling, but also essential, Pasoliniโ€™s controversial final film evokes both disgust and fascination in equal measure.

Love Meetings (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1964, Documentary, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • Leave a comment

Pasolini asks the Italian public very bold and awkward questions about sexโ€”and all of its political, social, economic and cultural implicationsโ€”in this superb and highly-entertaining documentary survey.

Arabian Nights (1974)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1974, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 6 Comments

Tales of lust and love are intertwined with Pasoliniโ€™s astonishing location shooting in this weird concoction of a film that runs a bit too long.

Canterbury Tales, The (1972)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1972, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 5 Comments

Not as complete as The Decameron was, this lust-filled, sex-crazed medieval fantasy will probably knock you out with its comic outrageousness.

Decameron, The (1971)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1971, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 8 Comments

Pasoliniโ€™s first film in his unofficial โ€˜Trilogy of Lifeโ€™ is wildly provocative and blasphemous where religion and sex meet at the crossroads of art.

Gospel According to Matthew, The (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1964, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 4 Comments

Powerful, poetic and sublime, this could be Pasolini’s magnum opus and arguably the greatest film about the life of Jesus Christ.

Accattone (1961)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1961, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 2 Comments

Quite a strong debut by Pasolini in the tradition of neorealism, with a harsh, fatalistic tone.
