CGiii Comment
The tagline states:
There are only 923 words spoken in "Teorema" - but, it says everything!
In reality...it says nothing at all.
An infinitely dreary allegory on bourgeois deconstruction...and, if that's not enough to send you into a coma...the music will.
Myopic, contrived and dull - the trademarks of Pasolini. Oooh that will definitely upset a few film academics.
