Abstract

As commissioned work and exceptional piece in Pasolini’s filmography, La Rabbia opens an unusual mode of operation with images and words. Pasolini started from a voluminous documentary archive of diverse sources, made his own montage of images and visualizing that structure he produced a script that was itself an experimental writing piece which articulates poetry and prose. The project and the result were explicitly characterized by the author as an essay film.
