Original version
In 1968, Pasolini met Ezra Pound for a television program dedicated to the great American poet. It was not a trivial encounter because Pound had seriously compromised himself with fascism and Pasolini therefore confronts an artist who is ideologically alien but in whose work he recognises some reasons of affinity, such as the critique of capitalism.
