Pasolini's "Teorema"

Posted by Victor Khomenko on September 7, 2010 at 06:09:04:

It's been long, long time since we saw it last time, and I am glad we did again.

So long ago that enough was forgotten, making us see it afresh.

One might not like Pasolini for any number of reasons... but one can't take away his incredible talent. His mind might be crooked, heart in the wrong place, but he is a master, and that mastership is present in every shot.

The film is intriguing and disturbing. I can easily see why Vatican was so opposed to it - although I don't think opposing films, or other forms of art, is really Vatican's job.

Pasolini wrote the script, and it contains only about 900 words... the characters say much more with their actions, not words. And even more remains unsaid, inviting the viewer to form his own conclusions.

A masterpiece by any measure, this movie must be experienced, not read about.
