85 minutes • 2014 • 5.9

A retrospect at Italian filmmaker and poet Pier Paolo Pasolini's last days in 1975. Pasolini has just finished filming his latest movie "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom" which was his last. A film that shocked both audiences and critics. He is criticized for his homosexuality, and for being so open with his outrageous way of life. One day he meets a young man with whom he wants to start a relationship, but it all ends tragically.

The film, directed by Abel Ferrara, has been shown at several film festivals and was nominated for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Pasolini is played by Oscar-nominated Willem Dafoe.
