In cerca del sessantotto - Tracce e indizi poster
NR

The "1968" movement in Italy and around the world represents an extremely complex and nuanced event. The curator attempts to unravel some of the main threads of an intricate web of events, figures, processes, and cultures. From the first signs of the new youth movement in 1966 to 1969, the narrative unfolds non-chronologically, exploring emotion as well as historical reconstruction.

We are on the set of "Salò or the 120 days of Sodom". Pasolini lets a small camera team led by the journalist Gideon Bachmann follow him around engaging him in a long and extraordinary interview/conversation. The interview turns into a long, clear-sighted and violent attack on society that accompanies photos of the set in a surprising juxtaposition of film and reality, revealing Pasolini's metaphorical portrait of modernity.

The field of Casilino poster
8.0

Pier Paolo Pasolini's voice introduces a monologue featuring Carlo, the poet's alter ego, set in a desert space with an almost lunar appearance: an expanse of sand under a starry sky. The man stages a sort of erotic liturgy bordering on self-destructive anxiety: he will offer himself to twenty hustler street boys, before a spectacular sunset, which recalls the strong colors of Sirk or Kazan melodramas, puts an end to the whole affair.
