Pier Paolo Pasolini 22 DVD Collection
Pier Paolo Pasolini (March 5, 1922 - November 2, 1975) was an Italian poet, intellectual, film director, and writer.
Pasolini distinguished himself as a philosopher, linguist, novelist, playwright, filmmaker, newspaper and magazine columnist, actor, painter and political figure. He demonstrated a unique and extraordinary cultural versatility, in the process becoming a highly controversial figure.
In his 1966 film, Uccellacci e Uccellini (literally "Bad Birds and Little Birds", known as The Hawks and the Sparrows in the English version), a sort of picaresque - and at the same time mystic - fable, he wanted the great Italian comedian Tot¨° to work with one of his preferred "naif" actors, Ninetto Davoli. It was a unique opportunity for Tot¨° to demonstrate that he was a great dramatic actor as well.
In Theorem (1968), starring Terence Stamp as a mysterious stranger, he depicted the sexual coming-apart of a bourgeois family (later to be repeated by Francois Ozon in Sitcom).
Later movies centered on sex-laden folklore, such as Il fiore delle mille e una notte (Arabian Nights, 1974), Boccaccio's Decamerone (1971) and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1972), on to the Trilogy of Life. His final work, the only one from the expected Trilogy of Death, Sal¨° (1975), went far beyond what most movie-goers could stomach at the time, because of its scenes of intensely sadistic graphic violence. Based on the novel 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade, it continues to be his most controversial film; in May 2006, Time Out's Film Guide named it the Most Controversial Film of all time.
