IL GIOVANE CORSARO - PASOLINI DA BOLOGNA
THE YOUNG CORSAIR PASOLINI FROM BOLOGNA
ITALY | 2022 | ITA | SUBS ENG | 98 MINS | DOCUMENTARY
PRODUCION: Si Produzioni, Cinecittà Luce CAST: Nico Guerzoni, Samantha Faina, voice of Neri Marcorè
This fi lm follows the radical fi lmmaker, poet, and author Pier Paolo Pasolini and the important connections to his life growing up in Bologna. Pasolini pushed the boundaries of fi lm and literature during post World War II in Italy. He often found himself highly criticized for his political beliefs and taboo topics he wrote or fi lmed. Moving between the political unrest in Italy and his own personal challenges, and countless charges and lawsuits about the nature of his writings and fi lms, Pasolini somehow still managed to be considered a great director and his fi lms were highly popular. Obsessed with class culture and divide, these struggles made many appearances in his fi lms along with his contempt of consumerism. Through Marrese’s documentary, audiences will get an inside look into one of the world’s most controversial fi lmmakers.
BOLOGNA: HOME OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL DIRECTOR EMILIO MARRESE
Emilio Marrese is an Italian director, writer and journalist. Born in Naples, he eventually moved to Bologna and then to Rome where he stayed until 2015. Since 1987, Marrese worked as a journalist for the newspaper the “Rupbblica“. He released his fi rst novel in 2010 called “Rosa di fuoco“, for which he won the 2011 Coni Award for sports fi ction. Marrese has also written multiple documentary fi lms. In 2010 his fi lm “Via Volonté n.9“ won the Best Documentary category at the Rome Independent Film Festival. The fi lm follows families in a particular building as they attempt to pay rent and support their families by working an honest job. Marrese’s most recent project “Il Giovane Corsaro -Pasolini da Bologna“ (2022) commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of the legendary fi gure Pier Paolo Pasolini.
