TEOREMA |
In Pasolini's "Teorema." 1960s icon Terence Stamp drops into the lives of an extremely bourgeois family, and proceeds to seduce each member, including the maid. He plays both God and the Devil, we never know which. His divine and diabolical interaction with each character causes them to re-evaluate their belief systems. Just as suddenly as he appears, he leaves. |
