The Cinema of Italy
Pasolini, a unique case in the Italian panorama
Buy Italian Movies
A case apart from the cultural and cinematographic landscape of the times is Pier Paolo Pasolini, director, actor and author, who in his work showed an opposition to the morals of the times. A true anti-conformist, until his death (occurred under obscure circumstances in 1975) he never tired of fighting at all levels (literature, cinema and politics) to promote new values to conformism and the consumerism of the Italian society between the 1960s and the 1970s. Pasolini's first films (including shocking short movies like "Che cosa sono le nuvole?" and "La ricotta") deeply impress for the extraordinary poetry and lyricism in every frame and scene shown to the audience. Pasolini was never "in the closet" and never denied his preference for a communist ideology, he is considered one the most culturally influential person of his time, although his political views would be considered extreme and his works were often discriminated.
