Running time
La macchinazione (The Plot) is a 2016 Italian biographical drama film directed by David Grieco, starring Massimo Ranieri and based on the last hours of Pier Paolo Pasolini's life before his murder.[1][2]
Ranieri, who portrays Pasolini, met the poet when he was young and Pasolini himself was very surprised by the physical similarity between the two of them.[3]
Plot
In the summer of 1975, the writer and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini is completing his latest film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, and has started writing a political essay, Petrolio (Oil).[4] Meanwhile, he begins a dalliance with the young Giuseppe 'Pino' Pelosi, a rent boy with a criminal record. According to the film, the youngster and his accomplices steal some reels of Pasolini's latest film, which they offer to return in exchange for a large ransom. This is a trap, which leads to the director's brutal murder on 2 November 1975.
