Cinematheque Ontario presents - The Rage of Pasolini

November 4th, 2009 by Gilbert Seah

Weekend Box Office

LA RABBIA DI PASOLINI (Italy 2008) ***
Directed by Pier Pablo Pasolini

Be prepared to be thrust into the mind and emotions of murdered controversial Italian director Pier Pablo Pasolini. 

In his essay on life, politics and war, Pasolini put together LA RABBIA DI PASOLINI (THE RAGE OF PASOLINI) that was heavily censored during its original release.  Cinematheque Onatrio presents a 2008 version which is a reconstruction and restoration of the original work.

LA RABBIA was constructed from ninety thousands metres of newsreel footage by Pasolini – often with no logic or chronological order.  Yet, his images are arresting as are his views as narrated over the soundtrack.  Particularly disturbing is the way he forces his ideas on film, without a care of repercussions.  (His view on the French are intriguing though the reason of his detest is never made 100% clear.) Despite the film’ mainly angry tone, there are a few humorous edges such as the musical number acted out by the pimp, the prostitute and the prissy.  An interesting and highly personal film that might not affect everyone positively! 

(One Screening only at 6 pm Nov 8th Sunday.)
