“PASOLINI’S ANGER” (La Rabia di Pasolini) is a documentary film that will be presented during TWO RIVERSIDES Festival. It is the reconstruction of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s remarkable masterpiece from 1963 directed by Giuseppe Bertolucci. “Why is the life a misery, fear, pain? To answer these questions, I made this unchronological, sometimes even illogical film… a film that is still in accordance with my political convictions and poetical feelings”- Pasolini said. In the autumn of 1962, having made the provocative “Accattone!” and “Mamma Roma”, he was working on “RoGoPaG” when he received a proposition from Gastone Ferranti, a producer, to make a film based on short fragments of MONDO LIBERO film chronicles. Out of 90 000 meters of film stock he chose a sequence of footage scenes concerning recent events, mixed the sound and wrote the script. The fragments of poems and prose that appeared in the film were read out by Georgio Bessani and Renato Gattuso respectively. When Pasolini was editing the film, the producer decided to entrust a task to reformulate one part of the film to Giovannino Guareschi, Pasolini’s opponent. At first Pasolini didn’t want to agree on that involuntary cooperation, but finally he decided to remove one part of his material to give place to Guareschi’ episode. In 1963 “ANGER” , a two-part film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini and Giovannino Guareschi, was finished. It’s a kind of a political essay and a poetical film at the same time, or rather a poem about anger expressed in pictures. About Pier Paolo Pasolini’s anger against bourgeoisie, barbarism, intolerance, bias, triviality, decency. The anger against the persecution criticisms of his work. The world premiere of the film was on last year’s festival in Venice. For the first time Polish viewers will have the opportunity to see it on FAF TWO RIVERSIDES, in the Documentary section.
