#NowWatching “Pasolini” (2014) on Kino Film Collection
Blu-ray: https://amzn.to/45ZBeIh
Directed by Abel Ferrara
Starring Willem Dafoe
A kaleidoscopic look at the last day of Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini in 1975.
A quote from Clare Carlisle's 'Transcendence for Beginners' about biography and life:
'Biography is a humble literary genre, rooted in our natural curiosity about other people. This desire to know already carries the seed of a philosophical quest that arises, according to Plato, in the gap between appearances and reality. I meet someone, see how she presents herselfand then I wonder, what's she really like? What is she not telling or showing me? But while Socrates went around Athens asking, 'What is a human being?', I want to know who this singular person is.
A biography's subject matter is typically a whole life. One whole human life, from birth to death that's a lot. Not just a lot of time, but a lot happening. And, for a philosopher, a lot to think about. This subject has special ethical weight: people often say that a human life is precious, even sacred. According to Aristotle, ethics is concerned with whole lives, because happiness or flourishing 'requires a complete life'. If you believe in God, you might imagine how he will judge your life as a whole, once it is finished. So the concept of a whole life is on the horizon of ethics, and on the horizon, I think, of our day-to-day experience. This concept seems ready and waiting to spring into thoughts like, What am I doing with my life? or, Oh my God I'm at least halfway through my life.
Yet being on the horizon also means that it is elusive. It very hard, if not impossible, to pick out the entity captured by the concept of one whole life. Right now, for each of us, our whole life is a mystery. Perhaps biographies, like fictional life stories, appeal to such a wide reading public because they offer the chance to move at lightning speed through a life that has clearer contours than our own, and thereby gain some sense of a wholeness that usually eludes us - a metaphysical impulse, spurred on by love of gossip. Moreover, and this troubles a philosopher, the very concept of a life is difficult to pin down. It seems somewhat different from adjacent concepts such as that the concept of a person includes everything that has person, individual or self- unless you think, like Leibniz, happened and will ever happen to him, as well as all the , is and will be connected to other things, so ways he that each human soul contains 'traces of everything that happens in the universe, even though God alone could recognise them all.'
The practice of life writing brings into view this concept of a whole life. Of course, a biographer need not enter directly into metaphysical speculations. Rather, in grappling with technical and aesthetic questions that arise while writing a life - questions about literary form, authorial judgment, narrative voice - she draws closer to the question of the *being* of a life. Truth becomes especially salient. Another person's *whole* life is a weighty subject: even if the biographer does not appoint herself as its judge, she is making it available for public judgement. So her account must be truthful and fair. But what does that entail?
This question was posed by André Maurois, biographer of Shelley, Byron, Voltaire, George Sand, Balzac and Proust, when he gave the Clark Lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge about a hundred years ago. His theme was biography considered as both an art and a science. He urged that a life must be written 'with a strict care for the truth - a care not only for the truths of fact (so far as the unfortunate biographer can attain them) but for that profounder truth which is poetic truth.' As Maurois discovered, life writing turns out to be a rather elastic genre in which distinctions between fact and imagination, between description and interpretation, between fiction and non-fiction, are not easily drawn. In the effort to choose words that minimize the constant risk of lapsing into untruth, the biographer runs into the deep question of the truth of a life.'
