Abel Ferrara is clearly devoted to Pasolini but he’s too much audacious in making a film in Italy where the deceased Italian filmmaker was so well known and revered.

If you already know the subject of this movie, probably you will be disappointed.

Actually, it’s quite difficult get the real point of the entire film; certainly it wasn’t a biopic and neither a deep analysis or introspective presentation of specific aspects of the director’s life.

 

Seemingly, it is a collage of random shots of events (already well known) and few minds not clearly related,  accompanied by explicit sexual scenes that leave  in the spectator a sense of emptiness, giving the impression of being offensive, trivial and useless to depict Pasolini’s life.

So I'm wondering: what’s the point of Ferrara’s movie?
