Caesura and binocular vision in Pasolini’s Pigsty

Pages 575-588 | Published online: 31 Dec 2017
 

Notes

1. Pier Paolo Pasolini, Pigsty (Italy/France, IDI Cinematografica/Orso Films/INDIEF/CAPAC, 1969) [on DVD]. The DVD edition I will refer to was released in 2003 by Water Bearer Films, and has been supervised by the association ‘Fondo Pier Paolo Pasolini’. There is a more recent DVD release by Tartan Video in which the flashforward scenes mentioned later in the article are edited in linear time.

2. The cycle comprises Oedipus Rex (Italy/Morocco, Arco Film, 1967) [on DVD], Theorem (Italy, Aetos Film, 1968) [on DVD], Pigsty and Medea (Italy/France/Germany, San Marco/Les Films Number One/Janus Film und Fernsehen, 1969) [on DVD].

3. Julian’s dream has similarities with a dream of the Wolf Man, the dream in which he cuts through one of his little fingers while playing with a knife, and sees that it is only hanging on by skin, feeling great terror but no pain; this dream is interpreted by Freud as being related to the Wolf Man’s fear of castration by his father (see CitationFreud, 1918 [1914], p. 85–6).
