Pier Paolo Pasolini
5 March 1922 – 2 November 1975
Italian film director, poet, writer, and intellectual, who also distinguished himself as an actor, journalist, novelist, playwright, and political figure.
Pasolini was perhaps the most notorious and controversial personality in Italy due to his straightforward style.
Way ahead of his time, Pasolini's legacy remains partly contentious.
He voiced strong criticism of petty bourgeois values and the emerging "totalitarianism of consumerism" in Italy, juxtaposing socio-political polemics with a critical examination of taboo sexual matters, and an out homosexual man in a country where it was considered criminal .
Pasolini continues to be one of the biggest influences of my art by creating Salo: 120 Days of Sodom, for me the best movie ever made. Salo separates the men from the boys.
His unsolved murder at Ostia in November 1975, ( three weeks before Salo premiered) during an altercation with a young male prostitute prompted an outcry in Italy, and its circumstances continue to be a matter of heated debate.
