Thirty years ago, the Italian poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini was killed in Rome by a teenage boy he picked up in the Trastavere. This unnerving psychodrama examines lingering suspicions that the artist was murdered by neo-fascist elements and presents a riveting picture of Italian politics and society in the aftermath of WWII. Azama examines the iconoclast’s conflicted relationship with Italian Communism and the notorious, troubled love life that locked him in a life-long struggle against homophobia and the suppression of his now-celebrated work.
