A very extraordinary piece of work. Full Review
The Spectator

Rating: 4/5 -- The film, made in 1968, was provocative then and remains so now. But it doesn't elucidate its ambivalent moral secrets easily. Full Review
London Evening Standard

Rating: 5/5 -- 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. Full Review
Guardian
Apr 11, 2013
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. Full Review

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

Pasolini embodied many of the contradictions that were brewing into violence in pre-1968 Europe, and so does his film, which is at once materialistic and transcendent, painfully sincere and bitterly sarcastic.

Description by OLDIES.com:

Terence Stamp stars in Pier Paolo Pasolini's award-winning and controversial film as a strange visitor who suddenly drops into the lives of an extremely bourgeois family. He plays both God and the Devil as he proceeds to seduce each member of the house including the maid. His divine and diabolical interaction with each character causes them to re-evaluate their belief systems and just as suddenly as he appears, he's gone.

Product Description:

The eccentric Italian director's atmospheric tale of a prominent, dysfunctional Milanese family which engineers its own destruction when a spiritually minded stranger moves in on them.
