Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) was arguably the most complex
director of postwar Italian cinema. His films--"Accattone," "The
Canterbury Tales," "Medea," "Salo"--continue to challenge and
entertain new generations of moviegoers. A leftist, a homosexual,
and a distinguished writer of fiction, poetry, and criticism,
Pasolini once claimed that "a certain realism" informed his
filmmaking.
Masterfully combining analyses of Pasolini's literary and
theoretical writings and of all his films, Maurizio Viano offers
the first thorough study of Pasolini's cinematic realism, in theory
and in practice. He finds that Pasolini's cinematic career
exemplifies an "expressionistic realism" that acknowledges its
subjective foundation instead of striving for an impossible
objectivity.
Focusing on the personal and expressionistic dimensions of
Pasolini's cinema, Viano also argues that homosexuality is present
in the films in ways that critics have thus far failed to
acknowledge. Sure to generate controversy among film scholars,
Italianists, and fans of the director's work, this accessible
film-by-film treatment is an ideal companion for anyone watching
Pasolini's films on video.
