La macchinazione

I was a little girl when Pasolini was murdered and when the news was spread by the newscast, my mother said: "It's impossible! Someone have killed him, they never could convince me that things went so". After forty years this film reveals the true sequence of the events and people who killed Pasolini. I appreciate David Grieco's honest approach. It seems to me that the director's effort is to give us the opportunity to understand the real questions behind Pasolini's murder and set us free to highlight this facts. David Grieco collected a lot of evidence in a sensitive way which I have appreciated in the choose of the sound track, in the photography and in the mounting of the film. Massimo Ranieri as Pasolini is really great with a degree of expressive intensity typical of a genuine talent. I appreciate also the young Alessandro Sardelli (Pino Pelosi) and the sophisticated and very elegant interpretation of Milena Vukotic (Susanna Colussi) and also the realistic and persuasive Tony Laudiadio as the Lawyer. The entire cast expresses an excellent performance.

Pasolini is one of the most quoted poets but often some people tries to manipulate his thought, I have always believed this. Every time some people try to say that Pasolini is passed. This film restores the full strength of Pasolini's vision without any rhetoric. The plot is brought forward really impeccably. The elegant trait of David Grieco is rare in our cinema and the film has a very good pace. The clarity allows the viewer to follow the film, but care is needed. Excellent the actors in particular Massimo Ranieri and Roberto Citran. The soundtrack is beautiful, Pink Floyd are a really great choice. Photography is for gourmets. Very accurate reconstruction of the "Borgata" spoken. It seems to be carried in 1975. The film is highly recommended!

This film has deeply impressed me. I have never been so sad after seeing a movie. I had tears in my eyes after the last scene and a strong sense of hardship. David Grieco, many thanks for the courage. The actors are all very good, especially the protagonist. I understood many things, and I knew better the story of Pasolini. Incredible how important is this intellectual, this man who cared about understanding his time. I think we have a great opportunity to understand our time too through this film. The scene that struck me mostly is the one in which Pasolini releases an interview with a French journalist. I also appreciate the next one, in which Pasolini has the vision of our digital age, I think that both scenes are very representative of our condition.

In my opinion this film is very interesting in order to understand the 70's Italian decade and to understand Pasolini's murderer. I think that this film is well played: I appreciate the work of every actor. Matteo Taranto and his quotation of Gian Maria Volonté impressed me a lot: I think that the remind to the film "Indagine di un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto" is precious. It's great that the director makes you observe the situation and then make you understand that you have all the elements to put together the potential truth. Some scenes are very touching and sensitive and are well constructed, especially the final sequence. Great film, highly recommended!

I was skeptical when I heard about the new film on Pasolini's death. I do not like the word "conspiracy", I have always been cautious about. But when I saw the David Grieco's film I have been upset by the honest reconstruction of the murder of Pasolini and I understand that it is normal to be wary when you are in front of a submerged truth, you feel insecure. I believe that David Grieco has done a great movie, we deserve a Cinema that can make us aware. The mud machine that tried to destroy Pasolini is terrible. This film shows it without any rhetoric, everyone can understand the film and what it brings out, even young people. I think guys have just to see it, indeed. Also it is an elegant film. You will remain very touched by the sweetness of Massimo Ranieri and Milena Vukotić. Excellent Roberto Citran and Libero De Rienzo too. Brilliant idea the use of Pink Floid's music for the soundtrack, you'll really know ​what were those years. The special effects are a punch: the final sequence is truly visionary. After watching David Grieco's film I need to watch again all of Pasolini's works. Now I want to know the truth about his murder and I am sure that the great Cinema never leaves us alone.
