La Rabbia (in television performance also La Rabbia - The Wrath ) is a compilation - documentary by Pier Paolo Pasolini from 1963. It is one of 90,000 meters newsreel material compiled film essay Pasolini, who questioned the pictures shown with a shaded comment. The text written by Pasolini will be spoken by the writer Giorgio Bassani and the painter Renato Guttuso .
content
The film strings together film recordings and press photos of political and social events from the 1950s and early 1960s, including the coronation of Elizabeth II , the uprising of June 17 , the Hungarian popular uprising , the Algerian war , the Suez crisis , the election of Pope John XXIII. , from the death of Marilyn Monroe , from atomic bomb tests and from the first manned space flight of the Russian cosmonaut Gagarin as well as from performances by Ava Gardner and Sophia Loren . In addition, works of modern art by Jean Fautrier , George Grosz , Ben Shahn and Renato Guttuso are cut.
Pasolini's comment takes a stand against an adaptation to global political realities, which are perceived as irrational and chaotic, and against the widespread rejection, hatred "of everything that is different, of everything that is outside the norm, and consequently disrupts the civil order."
effect
The producer of the film tried to soften Pasolini's statements by shortening and adding a second part, for which he engaged the " Don Camillo and Peppone " author Giovanni Guareschi . Pasolini distanced himself from this version and was supported by left-wing intellectual protests in Italy, in particular his friend Alberto Moravia , who assumed fascist tendencies in the second part. The producer took the film out of distribution himself after a few days.
The art critic Aldo Bertini saw in the film "an act of indignation against the unreality of the bourgeois world ... to document that there is a world that is in possession of reality inside."
