Pasolini Requiem by Barth David Schwartz


Published by Pantheon Books in 1992

Schwartz looks at Pasolini's political, poetical, and dialect (Friulian) passions, but is very informative and insightful on the cinematographical genius of Pasolini. He gives considerable space to the murder, and sees it as a logical, and even a wished-for culmination. Each of the films is discussed intelligently, with useful input quoted from actors, cameramen, collaborators of all professions, as well as political friends and enemies, journalists, and family-members. This is my favourite work on Pasolini, and deserves to be more widely distributed. When I bought my copy, just off the Charing Cross Road in London, I had been assured by Foyle's that the book was not in print, and probably a figment of my imagination!
