Pier Paolo Pasolini poeta
Director
The video film is the first on Pier Paolo Pasolini, poet and writer in which only the author appears and only his voice is heard: the reading of his verses alternates with interventions on poetry and life. There are very few films on Pasolini writer (those on Pasolini director are frequent) and very few readings of his poems, a lack that has been solved with very rare recordings on disk and radio.
Desideria
Director
