In this book, readers will find poems that Pasolini wrote during his brief stay in New York, interviews, and an anthology of statements, reflections, and notes on his films.
The second section of this book contains essays by scholars and writers who were Pasolini's contemporaries such as Girogio Caproni, Tulio de Mauro, Alberto Moravia, and others. The final section of the volume reproduces portfolios and original afiches of films and still and set photographs that Angelo Novi took on eight films, from Mamma Roma (1962) to Teorema (1968).
