Did Pasolini ever write any sort of literary criticism on Chaucer or Proust or Dostoyevsky or any of the other writers he admired? I am interested in reading his opinions on other writers. I am looking for ideally a Nabokov style book of essays and lectures of his opinions on other poets and writers.

>Nabokov style
Yes, something like Nabokov’s lectures on specific books but Pasolini instead.
He did that specifically because he was ticked off at Ninetto Davoli leaving him. Also it was to be the first part of “the trilogy of death” which was to depict sex as inherently evil and wicked the opposite of the trilogy of life, which depicted sex as beautiful. I have never seen Salo btw. I am huge fan of trilogy of life but I also like Theorem quite a bit.
Sade or Pasolini? Sades Justine is very critical of the church at least.
What are the movies from the trilogy of life?
Canterbury Tales, The Decameron and Arabian Nights
The trilogy of death was to be Salo 120 Days of Sodom, a Gilles de Raise movie and unspecified third film
>Gilles de Rais movie
This guy was fricked up from what little I could read. Is the Bataille book on him worth it?
No, it’s genuinely shit
>Sade or Pasolini?
Sade of course
Yeah Sade is really anti-church in Justine. The priests take turns gang raping her while she is hiding at their convent.
Why did he adapt Sade? Also, why do many leftists (especially old school leftists) seem to have admired Sade when he, as far as I can tell, represented everything they stood against?
Because he hated le church or something
Did he make any movie from anything from Chaucer’s work like he did from Greek tragedians, Sade?
Yes, the trilogy of life. He did a Canterbury Tales adaptation.
Oh nice, thankee. I wish he had finished the trilogy of death, Gilles de Rais is an interesting person.
this guy was a degenerate subhuman whos entire oveure should be destroyed
Fun fact for all you “tradcaths” his Gospel of Matthew is one of the Vaticans official film adaptations of the Jesus narrative.

Pasolini is a poet and novelist and also I was asking specifically if he had any literary criticism. There is an interview with Ezra Pound on YouTube but I want an actual collection of essays on books.
How is 2nd year of Uni treating you this far?
I want something like this except Pasolini.

His Canterbury Tales was complete dogshit. It was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I turned it off after an hour. I dare you to defend that film.
It was butchered to shit is why. Originally, when it premiered at Cannes in 72 it had 40 minutes extra of explanatory prologues setting up each scene along with an overarching plot about the travelers going t Canterbury cathedral and an extra episode iv=nvolving D=Sir Topas the knight. Pasoini himself had a much more substantiave role in this as Chaucer himself going to Canterbury and recording all their humorous tories.
