Pasolini: why is he so great?

Il vangelo secondo Matteo: over two hours long, trudge pace, black and white, long silences, ranting - but utterly compelling and, ultimately, unnervingly convincing.

Salo: disgust competing with boredom and horror for the upper hand, yet impossible to stop watching, right up until the innocents are tortured to death.

The poetry, the novels, the repulsive unfinished Petrolio.

The audacity of his life, the ultimate Pasolini film.
