# Pier Paolo Pasolini

> The Italian filmmaker and Marxist intellectual who turned sacred texts and medieval bawdry into visceral cinema, then pushed further into territory so extreme it still divides opinion - before his unsolved murder on a Roman beach in 1975 became a wound Italy keeps reopening.

## Bio

Pier Paolo Pasolini was born 5 March 1922, a poet and openly gay man who embraced Marxism after World War II and began excoriating what he saw as the consumerist rot eating Italian culture from within. He brought that fury to film: The Gospel According to St. Matthew in 1964, then the Trilogy of Life - The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales, Arabian Nights - juxtaposing folklore with graphic sexuality. His final work, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, remains one of cinema's most unsparing examinations of power and degradation. On 2 November 1975, he was abducted, tortured, and killed at Ostia; recent evidence points to a contract killing by the Banda della Magliana, a crime syndicate tied to far-right networks. The case has never closed, and neither has the argument over what he meant.
