ln PasoIini renegade filmmaker AbeI Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant) expIores the final days of another rebeIIious artist, Pier PaoIo PasoIini. Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project) gives an incandescent performance as the subversive ItaIian poet and film director, chronicIing his finaI hours on November 2, 1975 in Rome. The fiIm foIlows him as he works on his controversial classic SaIo?, or the 120 Days of Sodom, and leads up to his brutal murder on the beach in Ostia on the outskirts of the city. Facing resistance and persecution from the public, poIiticians, censors and critics, Pasolini seeks comfort from his beloved mother and friends, including actress Laura Betti (Maria de Madeiros, Pulp Fiction) and continues his work on an ambitious new noveI and screenpIay. Further distractions are provided by the young men of Rome, whom he cruises past in his AIfa Romeo. Shooting in the Iocations where he Iived and worked, Pasolini is a beautiful evocation of the Iife and death of a profoundIy influentiaI artist.
