Overview

Lili Reynaud-Dewar

ROME, NOVEMBER 1ST & 2ND, 1975 

Tuesday, August 22, 8 PM

 

Rome, November 1st and 2nd, 1975 is initiated by Pasolini's final interview, with Reynaud-Dewar self-cast as journalist Furio Colombo. The conversation between these two men took place on November 1, 1975, just a few hours before Pasolini was killed. The transcript contains Pasolini's musings on fascism, education, violence, and his particular lived experience, though he speaks most consistently and ardently on the relationship between subjugator and subjugated.

The second part of the movie is centered around Pasolini and his lover turned self-accused murderer Pino Pelosi. Reynaud-Dewar took Abel Ferrara's Pasolini as the impetus for investigation into the last days of the famed Italian figure's life. Reynaud-Dewar recreates the final scenes from his 2014 biopic, lending her own set of actors-curators, collectors, artists and former students.
