NOVEDADES

La fértil imaginación de Pasolini se tradujo, al lado de sus películas, en muchos proyectos cinematográficos no filmados. Esta edición reúne los tres que dejó prácticamente dispuestos para su realización. Estructurados como viajes por áreas geográficas y socioculturales muy diversas, su ritmo ágil permite «ver» las películas que el director tenía en la cabeza, al tiempo que brinda una lectura placentera. Como en toda la obra de Pasolini, estos guiones confieren al lector un papel activo a la hora de dar cuerpo a las escenas y lo interpelan para realizar su propia interpretación de los problemas de fondo. Sin presuponer un orden de lectura determinado, es el viaje lo importante, lo que permite comprender.

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love. Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since. Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees. Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
