· Legendary director Pier Paolo Pasolini's filmic excess was only part of his theoretically and politically driven contribution to cultural history. While the Museum of Modern Art in New York mounts its second full retrospective of the maestro's motion pictures, Patrick Rumble wades through the many legacies of Pasolini, from his early poetry to his current significance as a martyr figure for antiglobal, anti-neoliberal movements.
"For Pasolini, a 'cinema of poetry' can expose us to things themselves in a way other languages and media cannot, which explains his almost mystical faith in the medium of cinema."
—Patrick Rumble
