9 FILMS BY FILMMAKER-POET PIER PAOLO PASOLINI
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A BLU-RAY BOX SET
"PASOLINI IS LIKE A METEORITE."
BERTRAND BONELLO
Before the scandalous and legendary works of the 1970s, the 1960s were a period of intense creativity for Pier Paolo Pasolini. In 1961, Accattone marked his debut as a filmmaker, soon followed by Mamma Roma , two works imbued with a neorealist style. His subsequent films would be characterized by a singular and poetic aesthetic: the audacious documentary Investigation into Sexuality , the political farce Of Birds Big and Small , and the celebrated trilogy on myths ( The Gospel According to St. Matthew , Oedipus Rex , and Medea ), along with fragments of his unfinished African Oresteia . Nine films of unparalleled richness, including the astonishing short film La Ricotta , are brought together for the first time in a 6-Blu-ray™ set!
Available in a 6-Blu-ray box set
