Adrift

English. Directed by Cathy Lee Crane.

A poetic adaptation of the fountain of youth fable, Adrift follows a woman who has come to Rome to die. On her journey through the city, she encounters a young girl who taunts her with visions of lost innocence. This film was staged on locations of Pasolini’s films and includes an original score by composer Ben Kamen. Adrift is a quiet opera at the center of an evolving study of the human gesture, the unconscious way in which hands hold things and the body moves. This direct encounter with the materiality of existence, the way it resides in the body is profoundly political. Pasolini wrote: "The education given to a boy by things, by objects, by physical reality—in other words, the material phenomena of his social condition—make that boy corporeally what he is and what he will be all his life. What has to be educated is his flesh as the mold of his spirit. Social condition is recognizable in the flesh of an individual."
