4 'O lofty virtue,' I began, 'who lead me 

5 as you will around these impious circles, 

6 speak to me and satisfy my wishes. 

7 Pasolini's film about Luigi, 

8 can it be seen? For all the lids are raised 

9 and there is no one standing guard.' 

 10 And he to me: 'All will be shut and sealed..' 

 

At 4:36 when the apostles approach, the figure, I believe, on the left is Giorgio Agamben in his early twenties as St. Philip. Scorsese's Last Temptation lifts this scene almost shot for shot
