A handsome, enigmatic stranger arrives at a bourgeois household in Milan and successively seduces each family member, not forgetting the maid. Then, as abruptly and mysteriously as he arrived, he departs, leaving the members of the household to make what sense they can of their lives in the void of his absence.

In this cool, richly complex and provocative political allegory, director Pasolini uses his schematic plot to explore family dynamics, the intersection of class and sex, and the nature of different sexualities. After winning a prize at the Venice Film Festival, Theorem was subsequently banned on an obscenity charge, but Pasolini later won an acquittal on the grounds of the films 'high artistic value'.

Theorem is visually ravishing, with superb performances from its international cast and a brilliantly eclectic soundtrack featuring music by composers ranging from Mozart and Morricone.

Review This Product

Several Theorems, actually

Mon, 11 May 2015 | Review by: Michael S.

One of the key performances that made the reputation of Terence Stamp ( later better known as Zod in Superman ) both as an art film actor and as a beautiful celebrity. The film is teeming with allegories and symbolism, most of it obscure and confusing. A young man is encountered by a rather rich family and somewhat effortlessly seduces the mother, father, kids, and even the maid. I think he omits the family dog, but that may be an oversight.
