PORCILE
_Porcile _is a drama in eleven episodes that Pasolini wrote in 1966 and then, in 1969, transposed into the film of the same name to tell the story of the impossibility of living according to one's own coordinates, one's own instincts, preserving the intimate nature of oneself from the cannibal world.
_In _Porcile the plot unfolds in post-Nazi Germany, at a time when the bourgeoisie with its globalizing way of understanding democracy has seized Power and is running it.
Julian, the "neither obedient nor disobedient" son of a German bourgeois couple, finds in his father's pigsty a 'different' and 'unnatural' love that, nevertheless, he recognizes as a spark of "pure life." The mysterious passion that marks the character from the moment he enters becomes symbolic of the unease of those who do not recognize themselves in coeval society, and take refuge in something instinctual but secret.
Porcile takes no prisoners. It condemns everyone, from first to last. There is no redemption, no possibility of salvation in this world subjugated in an, by now, anthropological way. There is no hope in this pigsty where everyone eats everything, where the one must be the all.
