Theorem
Alternative title: Teorema

Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini

A mysterious young man entrances each member of a wealthy family. His sudden departure leaves behind a wake of transformation and introspection as they grapple with newfound desires and secrets revealed.
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Theorem is less a conventional gay film than a provocative study of sex, class and spiritual upheaval. Terence Stamp’s enigmatic visitor gives the film its magnetic centre, while Pasolini’s cool, controlled direction turns seduction into something almost religious. Strange and deliberately elusive, it remains one of his most fascinating works.
