Pier Paolo Pasolini's writings and films still form a disturbing body of work. This angry man spat out his hatred of morality and hypocrisy all his life. He never ceased to revile the old Italian bourgeoisie and the young protesters, to hate consumer society loud and clear and to denounce compromises, including and especially when they concerned the powerful. In various newspapers, he revealed the proven links between the government and the mafia. He shouted, they tried to gag him: each release of one of his films was accompanied by a controversy or a legal attack. So much the better: Passolini wanted to be the one who shocked, denounced and screamed in those years of darkness. But he underestimated the determination of his enemies to silence him.
