Pier Paolo Pasolini was a kind of ‘Master of Suspicion’ and one of the most provocative cultural critics of his time who diagnosed the social falsification of the Self. In this article, I explore Pasolini’s perspective in terms of a negative ontology and I analyse the pars destruens of his ‘lutheran and corsair’ production in terms of parresia and existential conflict. Moreover, I write a ‘critique of Pasolini’s critique’, pointing out that, in my opinion, Pasolini’s dialogue with Modernity is an apocalyptic look on the ‘Grand Hotel Abyss’, since it remains an impersonal historical dialectic and it is unable to undertake an existential kairòs in view of a spiritual and ethical metanoia.
