Title: Unreadable and pedantic
Review: Pasolini's cinema is profound and yet uncomplicated at the same time - I believe that his extraordinary films can be readily understood by the average viewer. Nonetheless, I was looking for a text that would help me to assess further the entire body of Pasolini's cinema, to see the common denominators in all the films and augment my critical eye. Rohdie's book is useless to me and mostly unreadable. The sentences are very long and pedantic. You keep waiting for facts or ideas that will enhance your appreciation of Pasolini's life and work but they never arrive. It appears to be a text that was written to impress academic colleagues or an editor. I have a graduate degree and studied film as an undergraduate, and I wouldn't recommend this boring volume even for use as a college textbook.
