Pasolini and the Form of the City

00:00:53 Me and...

00:01:31 Well, this is what I'd like to say,...

00:02:11 Well, this is a problem I'm talking with you about because I cannot speak...

00:02:42 ...and how many times you saw me suffering, hankering and swearing...

00:03:20 ...that is the town's form appears really in its greatest perfection...

00:03:53 ...but, being located there, it's another disturbing element against the perfection...

00:04:26 ...and the mixture between these two things is disturbing.

00:05:00 ...where there's a kind of emperor, the Shah, the same things are happening there, maybe even worse,...

00:05:45 ...show his subjects, his people that Persia was a modern country, in progress, etc.,...

00:06:27 ...of the state of Aden from emirs, etc., there were some vans in addition and the gate was narrow,...

00:07:09 ...or in Nepal, which is actually still intact, especially the town of Bagdaon is still almost as it was three thousands of years ago...

00:07:44 Choosing a town's form as a subject, I'd like to clarify that...

00:10:35 ...codified, which nobody uses to protect, something which is a work by people, so to say,...

00:11:19 ...but nobody realizes that what must be protected is just this anonymous past,...

00:12:04 ...unexpected feeling, its architecture has nothing irreal, ridiculous...

00:12:46 ...fulfilled human beings along with their humility.

00:13:18 ...a group of criminals who had the power, and this group of criminals who had the power couldn't...

00:14:13 Instead now the opposite is happening.

00:14:57 ...the real fascism is just this power of consumerism which is destroying Italy...
