A tribute to the beautiful but egregiously misunderstood Italian. Pasolini, happy birthday March 5th. For those who wish to know more, there is a wealth of material out there, aside from Pasolini himself who is prolific. Among the secondary materials--a book on his films by Maurizio Viano, a biography written by his cousin Nico Naldini, a website called "scritti corsari", another website sponsored by the Center for Pasolini studies in Casarsa (in Italian, and with photos, and an archive of theses written by students), a documentary by Philo Bregstein called Whoever Says the Truth Shall Die.
