Pier Paolo Pasolini 1922–1975 has the dubious distinction of being the only great filmmaker who was murdered, possibly at the behest of a rightwing faction which loathed the openly gay, Marxist, atheist and popular artist. Whatever the facts of his death conspiracy theories still abound, his reputation is based securely on his extraordinary legacy as an author and filmmaker. He was one of the most prodigiously gifted artists of the twentieth century: poet, novelist, literary and political theorist, screenwriter, actor, cinematographer, editor, composer, producer, and the director of twentyfive extraordinary pictures.
