Arruso
In relation to some of Pasolini's visits to Palermo for this last film, in 2000 Ciprì and Maresco shot Arruso, which begins with a phrase by Pasolini ("I banished the word hope from my vocabulary") and consists of imaginary interviews with some local characters who are presumed to have had homosexual relationships with the director. The two record the testimonies, sometimes affectionate others less, of those who had the opportunity to meet him and know the trends on the occasion of that trip.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a provocative portrait of Pasolini through a series of imagined interviews, relying on speculation and local lore rather than concrete biography. It explores the echoes of a controversial figure in the margins of a city, building a narrative from affection and rumor alike.
What lingers after viewing is not a clear image, but a haunting impression of how myth intertwines with memory in the absence of the subject himself. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Franco Maresco
