Dir. Abel Ferrara · Starring Willem Dafoe, Ninetto Davoli, Riccardo Scamarcio, Valerio Mastandrea, Roberto Zibetti, Andrea Bosca

“A kaleidoscopic look at the last day of Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini in 1975.”

HistoryDrama

We are with Pasolini during the last hours of his life, as he talks with his beloved family and friends, writes, gives a brutally honest interview, shares a meal with Ninetto Davoli, and cruises for the roughest rough trade in his gun-metal gray Alfa Romeo. Over the course of the action, Pasolini’s life and his art are constantly refracted and intermingled to the point where they become one.

VIBE

A deeply personal and fragmented portrait of a controversial artist's final hours. It's a contemplative, often unsettling, exploration of life, art, and the search for meaning on the brink of death.
