Pier Paolo Pasolini: Poet and Provocateur
Notes For An African Orestes
Appunti Per Un'orestiade Africana
Italy
| 1970 | Pier Paolo Pasolini
Pasolini's documentary captures his preparations for an Africa-set film version of the Ancient Greek play Orestes (about a man who kills his mother). Though the movie was never made, the documentary survives as a fascinating time capsule of 1970 Africa and as a portrait of Pasolini himself. With jazz great Gato Barbieri. "Key to an understanding of the particular Freudian-Marxist-Christian worldview that was Pasolini's." -J. Hoberman.
