Retrospective Pier Paolo Pasolini (II)

Our comprehensive retrospective of the films of Pier Paolo Pasolini continues in October with works from the middle and end period of the director's career, who is counted among the most multi-faceted, influential and radical artists and intellectuals of the 20th century. The focus of the second part of the retrospective is on Pasolini's explorations of archaic subjects and cultures, ancient Greece and the miseries of bourgeois society (EDIPO RE, TEOREMA, PORCILE and MEDEA), also taking in his "trilogy of life" (IL DECAMERON, I RACCONTI DI CANTERBURY and IL FIORE DELLE MILLE E UNA NOTTE) and his final film SALÒ, produced shortly before his violent death.

His two first films ACCATTONE and MAMMA ROMA are also being shown in the Martin-Gropius-Bau cinema in October, where numerous discussion events and study days are taking place to accompany the large-scale Pasolini exhibition "Pasolini Roma".
