Pier Paolo Pasolini - 1974
Well, Pasolini goes from his close views on faces, moving out then to very long views, his reverse shots are actual reverses, a full 180'. The shaking camera, deliberately slightly school play ish, chaotic staging. And also the most Bresson-like acting I can remember in Pasolini. This is either to kill psychology, all is a story, only truth that way, or it forces us to focus on the psychology.
I really got nothing except a deep annoyance here. One story as not enough, all as true, we are told; fine. Yet the stories are all about sex, endlessly, namelessly, that seems to be in the entire world, no variety. And that hugely irritating play at some kind of 'simplicity', with endless laughter whenever anyone gets naked, it is hugely grating really.
