The alienation of birth, the love-hate dialectic of sex, the conflict of principles and suppressed desires; these are all part of the angst of human existence. Oriana Fallaci, and other friends of Pasolini, have said he wanted to die, and to die the kind of violent death he did. Certainly the abyss fascinated him. He sought the dangerous, the sordid, with passion. He loved New York because he saw it as "a war you go to to kill...
