Pasolini said, speaking of' The Rage ', "an essay argumentative and ideological on the events of the last ten years. The documents are taken from newsreels and short films and mounted so as to follow an ideal timeline, whose meaning is an act of outrage against the unreality of the bourgeois world and its consequent historical irresponsibility. To document the presence of a world that, unlike the bourgeois world, has a profound reality, ie a true love for the tradition that only a revolution can give. " But the film was not this, or at least it was only in part, because the production was demanded that Guareschi, a distinguished member of the intelligentsia of the right to treat the first episode. Pasolini felt betrayed. This version of the 2008 through careful philological work was able to reconstruct the first part (16 ') as, in theory the Pasolini would have thought, and adds an appendix' air time ', a very interesting collection of video files that era show that the media campaign against the intellectual left was very harsh.
All this can not but fail to raise some doubt as to restore a film semi-unknown (at that time was immediately withdrawn from sale) removing a major part, as the episode of Guareschi? To revive the'originale '? But that is not the original theatrical release? It is not likely to make it extremely difficult version distribution of output in salt? Not all smells in the final analysis, an ideological? For posterity will judge.
Regarding the film itself, is a collage of documents of the postwar years, often with a pessimistic view of the overall situation. The ideology of Pasolini sees a lot of old, and in some sections quite antique (think the scene here in the villages Soviet Hosanna, in which the farmers are happy to work and can freely enjoy the art), but all in all some maximum Universal can be obtained, as well as a good documentary value.
anthology from the thrilling memory of Marilyn Monroe.
