Like nothing you've seen.
Pasolini's film is similar to late-vintage Bunuel: a scathing allegory of bourgeois society.
A beautiful, enigmatic young man (how else to describe the very young Terence Stamp?) arrives in a splendid villa and becomes involved with, pretty much, everyone in it.
Upon his departure, all life within the villa is disrupted.
I don't know why, since I'm not a fan of fanciful works in general, but I liked this a lot. The score by Morricone is wonderful.
Not just for Pasolini "junkies:" there is much beauty here, and several scenes seem to have affected Kubrick...
