âIn movies by Buñuel, Visconti, Bertolucci, and Pasolini Pierre Clémenti was ravishing a louche angel and devil, unreachable, unknowable, beautiful. In A Few Personal Messages, Clémenti claims your head and heart when he writes: âYou think if you lock up your nightmares, you'll feel better.â Imprisoned in Italy, his cri de coeur resonates with Oscar Wildeâs De Profundis, both men inside for their âsins.â Inside, Clémenti is ravaged and assaulted by the jail's daily inhumanities and barbarisms. âIn a society built on repression,â he says, âwho is innocent?â Here, Pierre Clémenti must be a modern-day secular saint, whose manifesto is profound, unforgettable, and like, beautiful.â âLynne Tillman
