Pasolini 101 [Blu-ray] [Criterion Collection]

Criterion Collection (9Pc) / (Box Sub Ws)

Overview

"One of the most original and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century, Italian polymath Pier Paolo Pasolini embodied a multitude of often seemingly contradictory ideologies and identities-and he expressed them all in his provocative, lyrical, and indelible films. Relentlessly concerned with society's downtrodden and marginalized, he elevated pimps, hustlers, sex workers, and vagabonds to the realm of saints, while depicting actual saints with a radical earthiness. Traversing the sacred and the profane, the ancient and the modern, the mythic and the personal, the nine uncompromising, often scandal-inciting features he made in the 1960s still stand-on this, the 101st anniversary of his birth-as a monument to his daring vision of cinema as a form of resistance. Films in this set: Accattone (1961) Mamma Roma (1962) Love Meetings (1964) The Gospel According to Matthew (1964) The Hawks and the Sparrows (1966) Oedipus Rex (1967) Teorema (1968) Porcile (1969) Medea (1969)"
