{"product_id":"st-paul-pier-paolo-pasolini","title":"St. Paul (Pier Paolo Pasolini)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003ePresented here for the first time in English is a remarkable screenplay  about the apostle Paul by Pier Paolo Pasolini, legendary filmmaker,  novelist, poet, and radical intellectual activist. Written between the  appearance of his renowned film Teorema and the shocking, controversial \u003ci\u003eSalò, or the 120 Days of Sodom\u003c\/i\u003e,  St Paul was deemed too risky for investors. At once a political  intervention and cinematic breakthrough, the script forces a  revolutionary transformation on the contemporary legacy of Paul. In  Pasolini's kaleidoscope, we encounter fascistic movements, resistance  fighters, and faltering revolutions, each of which reflects on aspects  of the Pauline teachings. From Jerusalem to Wall Street and Greenwich  Village, from the rise of SS troops to the death of Martin Luther King,  Jr, here- as Alain Badiou writes in the foreword-\"Paul's text crosses  all these circumstances intact, as if it had foreseen them all.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis  is a key addition to the growing debate around St Paul and to the  proliferation of literature centred on the current turn to religion in  philosophy and critical theory, which embraces contemporary figures such  as Alain Badiou, Slavoj Zizek and Giorgio Agamben.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePier Paolo Pasolini\u003c\/b\u003e (1922-75) was an Italian film director, poet, writer and one of the most controversial and provocative intellectuals of his time.
