Pier Paolo Pasolini e la ragione di un sogno (2001)

Good documentary about the life and ideas of the late writer and filmmaker. It contains statements by his friends, and lots of footage of Pasolini himself. Of course it is not suited to those who don't appreciate intellectual, ideological stuff, even though Pasolini was not really a hard core theoretician -- he was an artist with political ideas. Some say he had a simplistic view of capitalism (and Marxism), but, anyway, for those who have an interest, this may be a rather satisfactory introduction to his ideas.
