Basically, there is something moving down in the dark.
There's something returned.
And Pasolini is explicitly saying, fascism didn't go away.
It's still alive.
It's just elsewhere.
And I mean, especially for somebody like Pasolini, he was so international.
He wasn't an Italian filmmaker in the sense of somebody parochial.
He was very much engaged in internationalism.
He was a member of the Communist Party, even when he was flung out.
So no, I don't think he was thinking, I mean, I don't think he was unaware of Franco down the road.
Yeah, I mean, the difference is that I found Reich a really, really difficult person.
And actually, everybody which is the book about Reich also is about Dessart.

And yes, I am really interested in these sort of...
troubled profit figures, but particularly this, I have this very strong sense, which I really had when I was writing Everybody, that something necessary had been buried with Reich's reputation.
Well, yeah, you're right.
It's the same story that these sort of reputational murders might occlude something absolutely necessary for us and that I feel very compelled to burrow down and dig it out and bring it back into the light.
