The film, made in 1968, was provocative then and remains so now. But it doesn't elucidate its ambivalent moral secrets easily. Apr 12, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It is as if Pasolini has imagined how Italy's bland, complacent, stagnant governing class could be blown wide open: like putting a hundredweight of dynamite in the San Andreas fault. Apr 11, 2013 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

The narrative, almost silent in the first half, is unusually clear for a film by Pasolini. Performance by all members of the cast are praiseworthy, though Stamp dominates the first half and Betti, the second. Oct 23, 2007 | Full Review…

What would be pretentious and strained in the hands of most directors, with Pasolini takes on an intense air of magical revelation. Feb 9, 2006 | Full Review…

The movie itself is the message, a series of cool, beautiful, often enigmatic scenes that flow one into another with the rhythm of blank verse. May 9, 2005 | Rating: 4/5

I don't feel ready to write about this mysterious film; perhaps, a week from now, I'll decide it is very bad, a failure. But perhaps it is the most brilliant work yet by that strange director, Pier Paolo Pasolini. Oct 23, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Arguably Pasolini's most finely wrought work, an allegory bringing together his central preoccupations with politics, sexuality, society, art and the irredeemable inauthenticity of bourgeois life. Apr 14, 2013 | Full Review…

A heavily symbolic and highly intellectual look at the bourgeois milieu and the effect that a mysterious visitor, Stamp, has on one specific family. Oct 23, 2007 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

You'll either find it brilliant, or maddening. And neither response would be wrong. Apr 11, 2007 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
