A stunning, meditative portrait of Pasolini taken taken just weeks before his death. Pasolini had commissioned the photographer Dino Pedriali to spend two days with him in 1975, intending the resulting imagery shot at his homes in Chia and Sabaudia to be used in his last novel Petrolio. In the pages here we see an intimate portrait of Pasolini drawing, writing, thinking and walking.
