Jim Daze said:I watched 'Theorema' by Pasolini this afternoon before my nightshift, I honestly found it very disturbing and hilariously funny in places, does anyone else have any thoughts on this curious film. (music fans should note it has delicious score by Morricone/Nicolai).
That's not exactly him is it?He's a fascinating figure, but a bit of a tosser. There's a clip of him on TV where he's talking about how the people he loves most are the simple and illiterate because they aren't tainted by the impurity of culture. I get what he means, but it strikes me as romantic and condescending.

There's also a clip of Terence Stamp claiming he was essentially ripped off when he made Theorem, although it isn't clear whether that was down to Pasolini himself or to other people involved in the financing of the film.
Looking forward to seeing your contribution to culture and humanity too, Version. I'm sure it's going to be fantastic!
