La poesía no se consume

Almost four decades after his death, a tape containing one of the last interviews that Pasolini gave, in 1969, appears in the basement of the Italian Institute of Culture in New York. A long conversation in which, with a sharp and relentless, the writer, the critic, the thinker open up and undress, without avoiding provocations, rough topics: God, sex, religion, adherence to Marxism, criticism of the left obsessed with the purity of ideas, poetry -his first language-, cinema -his last-, power, consumer culture. A compelling succession of reflections that strikes the reader with its apodictic forcefulness and clairvoyant relevance.
