GUCCI CELEBRATES THE ENDURING INFLUENCE OF ITALIAN FILMMAKER PIER PAOLO PASOLINI THROUGH SUPPORT OF COMPREHENSIVE RETROSPECTIVE OF HIS CINEMATIC WORKS AT THE MoMA
Gucci, Luce Cinecittà, The Museum of Modern Art, and Fondo Pier Paolo Pasolini/Cineteca di Bologna present Pier Paolo Pasolini, a full retrospective celebrating the filmmaker’s cinematic output, from December 13, 2012 through January 5, 2013, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters. Pasolini’s film legacy is distinguished by an unerring eye for cinematic composition and tone, and a stylistic ease within a variety of genres—many of which he reworked to his own purposes, and all of which he invested with his distinctive touch. Yet, it is Pasolini’s unique genius for creating images that evoke the inner truths of his own brief life (1922–1975) that truly distinguish his films.

Exhibition supported by Gucci
This comprehensive retrospective presents Pasolini’s celebrated films
with newly struck prints by Luce Cinecittà after a careful work of two
years, many shown in recently restored versions. As part of the House’s
long-term commitment to preserve the legacies of visionary filmmakers
from the past, Gucci has contributed in bringing the masterpiece “Medea”
to a 35 mm format (the format for which the film was originally
conceived and filmed) from the digitally restored version – a
restoration of clarity to the images and depth from the original work.
