Qui je suis

About This Movie

So, 'Qui je suis' is this intriguing film that dives deep into the psyche of Pier Paolo Pasolini. Set against the backdrop of 1966, it’s like a reflective journey through his struggles, especially that gnawing ulcer. The pacing isn’t conventional; it meanders and flows like Pasolini's own thoughts. Bertrand Bonello really captures this introspective atmosphere, weaving together elements of crime, drama, and thriller that feel almost dreamlike. You get a sense of Pasolini's legacy, the weight of his work hanging in the air. Performances are understated but impactful, and the visual style has this raw edge that's distinctly captivating. There's a sense of reverence, but also a kind of haunting that lingers after the credits roll.
