The Apocrypha - Pasolini's Non-Fiction Films: Anger and Dissapointment

Brecht Forum
451 West Street, New York, NY 10014
The only one of Pier Paolo Pasolini's non-fiction films currently available in the United States, Love Meetings (1964), is probably his least radical, and least interesting. Pasolini is known in Italy and internationally as a poet, novelist, linguist, political columnist, and public intellectual. He is known here as the director of the provocative and sensational works Teorema (1968) and Salo (1975). Often lost in the shuffle are a number of formally innovative and politically engaged documentaries. ANGER AND DISAPPOINTMENT is the first two of those works.
