1963. The Mondo Libero newsreel by Gastone Ferranti and other material found in Tchekoslovakia, the Soviet Union and England, became, for Pier Paolo Pasolini, the basis for a lyrical and polemical analysis of the social phenomena and conflicts affecting the modern world, from the Cold War to the Economic Boom, with commentary consisting of a "poetical voice" (Giorgio Bassani) and a "prosaic voice" (Renato Guttuso).
While Pasolini was working on editing "La Rabbia", the producer, perhaps out of political scruples or commercial motives, decided to turn the movie into a four-hand work, and entrusted Giovannino Guareschi with a part of it, following the well known journalist-like scheme "seen by right, seen by left."
Pasolini reacted with irritation to this forced cohabitation, but in the end he acquiesced, giving up the first part of his movie to make room for Guareschi's segment.
2008. We thought it would be most interesting (as well as a fitting tribute) to try to trace, after so many years, Pasolini's original work.
Starting with the poet's text and Mondo Libero's collection, we worked on the reconstruction of that first missing part, and now wish to introduce it, obviously with benefit of inventory, to today's audience.
