The union's reaction to the boss's decision to give away his factory is meant to be funny, surely? But yeah I can't really with Pasolini either.

To me he is like a reader of texts turning to films. The New Testament, De Sade, old greek plays.

I loved Teorema and probably my favourite though I last saw it then years ago. Didn't feel like Stamp served as an erotic object, more like the thing that was missing in everyone he touched. It's a great idea.

Pigsty didn't work. Hawks and Sparrows I've yet to see

That's how I ultimately regarded Stamp.

a catalyst, more obvious with the son and his painting ambitions.

Terence Stamp, whom I admire as an actor and figure, is so far from an erotic object

I've been aware of that for quite some time

I saw Teorema as a partial remake of My Man Godfrey

If William Powell had fucked Mischa Auer.

Viano suggests that, despite Teorema having some of the most literal gay content of any of Pasolini's films, it's actually the least concerned with homosexuality as a theme.

I re-watched Teorema. It's very funny and an excellent story idea, and well executed. Beautiful soundtrack. The music was ace.

Deeply cynical film. I kind want to watch recent 'Marxist'/class films like Triangle of Sadness now.

It's playing at the BFI soon, might go.
