"Why create a work of art when dreaming about it is so much sweeter?" -PASOLINI

Cinema du Parc presents The Trilogy of Life, a series of three films that Pier Paolo Pasolini completed before his assassination in 1975, and it remains among the most controversial of his cinematic works. With The Decameron, Canterbury Tales, and The Arabian Nights - Pasolini attempts to recapture the aura surrounding popular, predominantly oral forms of storytelling through a pro-modern vision of innocent, unalienated bodies and pleasures. We added Salo,a loose adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's The 120 Days of Sodom, Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò is perhaps the most disturbing and disgusting film ever made. It is also one of the most important, offering a blistering critique of fascism and idealism that suggests moral redemption may be nothing but a myth.
