Albert Ostermaier: Die Liebe geht weiter

For Albert Ostermaier, however, ever since he began writing as a poet, Pasolini and his work have stood above all else like a fixed star. With his "Novel with Pasolini," he now creates a passionate monument to them by drawing on Pasolini's evocation of poetry and the 112 sonnets he left behind, cries for help from someone abandoned by his "life partner," Ninetto Davoli.



Like Pasolini, Ostermaier crosses boundaries – for both, everything private is political, and everything political is private.


In his empathetic adaptation of Pasolini's sonnets and on the trail of his mysterious murder, Albert Ostermaier uses all linguistic registers and thus learns in a relentless autobiographical self-exploration about himself what he would never have known without Pasolini: "Love" goes on.
