Abstract

Che cosa sono le nuvole?, a short film made in a week in 1968, shot between Oedipus Rex and Theorem, is a privileged manifest of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s intermedial poetics. It works, as different authors have highlighted, as a supreme mise en abyme of the metaphor of the world as theater, but within the cinema. Once again, it is the friction between media, in the thematization of theater through cinema, which makes it possible for Pasolini to revive his mimesis. Seeing how Pasolini modulates and repronounces the topic of the theatrum mundi in this inexhaustible conglomeration of meanings, which we can only sketch here, brings us back, thanks to the magic of metaphor, limited but true, his poetic theory of reality.
