La macchinazione

If you want to understand what happened to Pier Paolo Pasolini, this is the right film. David Grieco leaves the viewer the chance to pick up the information that he gives. An accurate reconstruction that is not only fiction. Massimo Ranieri resembled Pasolini and he's extremely generous in this interpretation. Milena Vukotić's in her best interpretation. Every actor pursues his own interpretation impeccably. An extraordinary soundtrack (Pink Floyd), an engaging and emotionally mounting, especially in the end. It is a political and ethical film in the best way, it has its origins in Pasolini and Petri, but has its own strong originality. Grieco uses modern techniques to make the truth accessible and reachable for everyone who care. No one can abstain after watching this movie.

I was skeptical when I heard about the new film on Pasolini's death. I do not like the word "conspiracy", I have always been cautious about. But when I saw the David Grieco's film I have been upset by the honest reconstruction of the murder of Pasolini and I understand that it is normal to be wary when you are in front of a submerged truth, you feel insecure. I believe that David Grieco has done a great movie, we deserve a Cinema that can make us aware. The mud machine that tried to destroy Pasolini is terrible. This film shows it without any rhetoric, everyone can understand the film and what it brings out, even young people. I think guys have just to see it, indeed. Also it is an elegant film. You will remain very touched by the sweetness of Massimo Ranieri and Milena Vukotić. Excellent Roberto Citran and Libero De Rienzo too. Brilliant idea the use of Pink Floid's music for the soundtrack, you'll really know ​what were those years. The special effects are a punch: the final sequence is truly visionary. After watching David Grieco's film I need to watch again all of Pasolini's works. Now I want to know the truth about his murder and I am sure that the great Cinema never leaves us alone.

I usually talk about Pasolini with my students as a teacher and when I've known David Grieco and his movie "La Macchinazione" I immediately bought his book edit by Rizzoli and invited my students to watch the film. So we had passionate discussions about Pasolini's death: the film gave us a valid interpretative perspective supported both by meticulous documentary research and by sources of direct information. Many thanks from us to David Grieco: his well structured film has a high formal and expressive level. It helps to reflect on a complex and delicate matter and it makes us more aware about the facts of which Pasolini was the protagonist and victim.

I saw the movie in DVD and it has fully fascinated me. In the box there is also a second DVD containing several extra contributions: it has been useful to understand many things that I had only guessed watching the movie. Now I am very upset about what happened to Pasolini, it's amazing his honest sacrifice and it's appalling the cruelty with which they decided to kill him in every sense. The movie has sequences simply moving, you have to be very careful to follow what's going on. I am sincerely touched by the talent of the actors and I hope to have soon the opportunity to watch this movie on a screen of a cinema: Why did I have to wait for the DVD to watch it? Highly recommended

Pasolini is one of the most quoted poets but often some people tries to manipulate his thought, I have always believed this. Every time some people try to say that Pasolini is passed. This film restores the full strength of Pasolini's vision without any rhetoric. The plot is brought forward really impeccably. The elegant trait of David Grieco is rare in our cinema and the film has a very good pace. The clarity allows the viewer to follow the film, but care is needed. Excellent the actors in particular Massimo Ranieri and Roberto Citran. The soundtrack is beautiful, Pink Floyd are a really great choice. Photography is for gourmets. Very accurate reconstruction of the "Borgata" spoken. It seems to be carried in 1975. The film is highly recommended!
