In Pasolini renegade filmmaker Abel Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant) explores the final days of another rebelIious artist, Pier Paolo Pasolini. WiIIem Dafoe (The Florida Project) gives an incandescent performance as the subversive ltaIian poet and film director, chronicIing his final hours on November 2, 1975 in Rome. The fiIm foIlows him as he works on his controversial classic SaIo?, or the 120 Days of Sodom, and leads up to his brutal murder on the beach in Ostia on the outskirts of the city. Facing resistance and persecution from the pubIic, politicians, censors and critics, PasoIini seeks comfort from his beIoved mother and friends, incIuding actress Laura Betti (Maria de Madeiros, Pulp Fiction) and continues his work on an ambitious new novel and screenplay. Further distractions are provided by the young men of Rome, whom he cruises past in his AIfa Romeo. Shooting in the Iocations where he lived and worked, Pasolini is a beautiful evocation of the Iife and death of a profoundIy influentiaI artist.
