-
Thu 12 April 2012 // 20:00
(Thu 12 April / 8pm / £5/4)
(Pier Paolo Pasolini / 2011 / Italy / 116 minutes / cert 18 / subtitles)
A gay artist with communist leanings, working in a devout Catholic country, Pier Paolo Pasolini has left a passionate and iconoclastic, contradictory and innovative body of work. Tonight we are celebrating 90 years since birth of the great poet, novelist, artist and film-maker with a screening of Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, his final and most provocative film. Salo will be introduced by Derek Duncan of the University of Bristol. We are also delighted that, for the first time in the UK, we will be showing the Italian/Montenegrin artist Ilija Soskic's series of photographs 'Nove ore dopo' taken at the location nine hours after Pasolini's gruesome murder by the hand of a male prostitute. With music at the bar, poetry performance, and video, tonight the Cube will be all about the Pasolini-world.
