In addition to the single, the digital edition of
Prayer to Pasolini includes Waters analysing Pasolini’s work, his casting methods, and legacy. There’s also voice note-style reflections on Pasolini’s sexuality, drive-in theaters, and conspiracy theories surrounding the filmmaker’s death.
Waters’ and Pasolini’s careers overlapped in the 70s, with their most notorious films –
Pink Flamingos and
Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom, respectively – both featuring scenes of actors eating shit. Waters says that the only difference was that in
Pink Flamingos – which predates Pasolini’s
Salo by over three years – Divine ate actual shit, while the Italian actors used chocolate. “But I don’t hold it against them,” he quips.
