The British Film Institute has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of maverick American director Abel Ferrara's latest film, Pasolini (2014), starring Willem Dafoe, Riccardo Scamarcio, Ninetto Davoli, Valerio Mastandrea, Adriana Asti, and Maria de Medeiros. The release will be available for purchase on October 26.
Having recently finished Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, Pasolini has enraged audiences, critics and politicians with his outspoken views, overt sexuality and the scandal that surrounds his films. Focusing on both his private and professional life, Pasolini explores the inner world of the filmmaker in the hours leading up to his devastatingly brutal death.
Starring Willem Dafoe (The Last Temptation of Christ) as the great auteur, and featuring Ninetto Davoli, who acted in many of Pasolini's films, Pasolini is a powerful and evocative look into the dark world of one of cinema's most controversial figures, as seen through the eyes of one of modern cinema's most astonishing and surprising directors.
