Il Cristo di Wilde e Pasolini
Aldo Onorati’s study is fascinating, as it was conducted on registers and narrative techniques regarding the radical questions in everybody’s life. It juxtaposes the biographical events of two of the main poems and writers between XIX and XX century, tracing the elements of a heretical, candic and labyrinthine Christology.
Attentions is given to the figure of Christ at the origin of this book, corroborated by a Pier Paolo Pasolini’s pun: “When I had the opportunity to speak to Pasolini about the divinity of the Redeemer, he answered something like: I don’t believe it is God, but his coherence, the height of his life, his teaching and his death that make him divine. I couldn’t obviously meet Oscar Wilde, but I read as much as possible, focusing on that and coming back many times to his masterpiece, the De profundis. For so long I have been thinking about writing my considerations noy about Jesus, as it would be too pretentious because I am not a theologian or a priest, bus focusing on two of his interpreters: Wilde and Pasolini, who were fascinated by him in a particular ad unique way”.
