Synopsis[edit]

Why isn't Ettore's death mentioned in the synopsis? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 08:13, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add to the synopsis. It is much too short for this film. Cheers! Doctormatt (talk) 07:11, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quote?[edit]

Is this a quote from a book?

"would add to the realism to their films, Pasolini turned to nonprofessionals because their acting did not seem 'real'"

If so, "would add to the realism to their films" is ungrammatical. Is it possible to check whether the original actually said, "would add to the realism of their films"? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 08:31, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

major edit[edit]

I have removed a lot of uncited material and opinions. The references are no longer relevant, so I am moving them here in case anyone wants to get these books and add relevant information with citation. For what it's worth, I was unable to find any of these on archive.org.

  • Greene, Naomi. Pier Paolo Pasolini: Cinema as Heresy. Princeton: Princeton UP, 1990.
  • Restivo, Angelo. The Cinema of Economic Miracles:Visuality and Modernization in the Italian Arts Film. Durham and London: Duke UP, 2002.
  • Siciliano, Enzo. Pasolini:A Biography. New York: Random House, 1982.
  • Viano, Maurizio. A Certain Realism:Making Use of Pasolini's Film Theory and Practice. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California P, 1993.

I removed the "multiple issues" template since the article no longer has multiple issues. The Italian Wikipedia article for this film appears to have at least some citations that could be used to add material to this article.
