Teorema Series: Heretical Epiphanies: The Cinematic Pilgrimages of Pier Paolo Pasolini Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini, Country: Italy, Release: 1968, Runtime: 105 The implosion of the bourgeoisie was not merely a crucial subject in 1968, it seemed like the only subject. In Teorema, the beatific British star Terrence Stamp is the mysterious visitor who arrives one day on the doorstep of a prosperous Milanese family, quietly seduces the entire household, from mother (Silvana Mangano) to father (Massimo Girotti) to maid (Pasolini axiom Laura Betti) to daughter (Anne Wiazemsky, then Mrs. Jean-Luc Godard), and then leaves without a word. A haunting vision––spare, oddly serene, strangely unsettling throughout––with one of Pasolini’s most powerful endings. Roman Catholic authorities banned Teorema, which was withheld from release for two years while the filmmaker fought obscenity charges. “An ‘impossible’ work,” wrote Jonathan Rosenbaum, “tragic, lyrical, outrageous, indigestible, deeply felt, and wholly sincere.”
