Watch The Ploy For Free

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

In my opinion this film is very interesting in order to understand the 70's Italian decade and to understand Pasolini's murderer. I think that this film is well played: I appreciate the work of every actor. Matteo Taranto and his quotation of Gian Maria Volonté impressed me a lot: I think that the remind to the film "Indagine di un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto" is precious. It's great that the director makes you observe the situation and then make you understand that you have all the elements to put together the potential truth. Some scenes are very touching and sensitive and are well constructed, especially the final sequence. Great film, highly recommended!

I usually talk about Pasolini with my students as a teacher and when I've known David Grieco and his movie "La Macchinazione" I immediately bought his book edit by Rizzoli and invited my students to watch the film. So we had passionate discussions about Pasolini's death: the film gave us a valid interpretative perspective supported both by meticulous documentary research and by sources of direct information. Many thanks from us to David Grieco: his well structured film has a high formal and expressive level. It helps to reflect on a complex and delicate matter and it makes us more aware about the facts of which Pasolini was the protagonist and victim.

I was a little girl when Pasolini was murdered and when the news was spread by the newscast, my mother said: "It's impossible! Someone have killed him, they never could convince me that things went so". After forty years this film reveals the true sequence of the events and people who killed Pasolini. I appreciate David Grieco's honest approach. It seems to me that the director's effort is to give us the opportunity to understand the real questions behind Pasolini's murder and set us free to highlight this facts. David Grieco collected a lot of evidence in a sensitive way which I have appreciated in the choose of the sound track, in the photography and in the mounting of the film. Massimo Ranieri as Pasolini is really great with a degree of expressive intensity typical of a genuine talent. I appreciate also the young Alessandro Sardelli (Pino Pelosi) and the sophisticated and very elegant interpretation of Milena Vukotic (Susanna Colussi) and also the realistic and persuasive Tony Laudiadio as the Lawyer. The entire cast expresses an excellent performance.

David Grieco piece together the documents and some important investigations about the murder of Pasolini with a coherent internal logic. The work is a masterpiece, beyond the high ethical value. Sets and costumes are great, Massimo Ranieri who plays Pasolini is extraordinary, touching and intense, poetic and strong. Excellent all the cast members. The music of Pink Floid make the film simply visionary and concrete. Pasolini used to say: "Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous." Through this film you will understand that an intellectual, a poet never dies.
