Pasolini - utopie i obsesje
Pasolini - Utopias and Obsessions

Summary/Abstract: A book review of Piotr Kletowski’s "Pier Paolo Pasolini. Twórczość filmowa" ["Pier Paolo Pasolini. His work in film"] (2013). This is the first monograph of such width and richness to be published in Poland on a director considered to be one of the greatest artists of the world cinema. The author focuses on Kletowski’s research method, which takes into the consideration all kinds of aspects of Pasolini’s creative work (especially film and literature), and seeks to find a balance between the aesthetic and philosophical coherence of his work and their immanent paradoxes and contradictions, which drive its dynamics. In effect a dialectic between Christian thought and Marxism turn out to be the key to the interpretation of the work of the great master.
