A brand new trailer has been released for maverick American director Abel Ferrara's (King of New York, Bad Lieutenant) latest film Pasolini (2014), starring Willem Dafoe, Maria de Medeiros, Riccardo Scamarcio, Giada Colagrande, and Adriana Asti. The film will have its North American premiere this month at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Synopsis: Rome: on the night of November 2, 1975, the great Italian poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini is murdered. Pasolini is the symbol of an art that's fighting against the power. His writings are scandalous, and his films are persecuted by the censors; many people love him and many hate him. The day of his death, Pasolini spends his last hours with his beloved mother and later with his dearest friends, until he finally goes out into the night in his Alfa Romeo in search of adventure in the eternal city. At dawn Pasolini is found dead on a beach in Ostia on the outskirts of the city. In a film dreamlike and visionary, blending reality and imagination, it reconstructs the last day in the life of this great poet. (Synopsis courtesy of TIFF).
