Kinoclub #52: Teorema (1968)

This masterpiece by Pier Paolo Pasolini starts from a simple premise: 'what if Christ were to return as a sexy anarchist with overly tight sweaters?' A mysterious stranger one day appears at the door of a bourgeois Italian family. One by one, the family members become obsessed with his presence and can no longer deny the emptiness of their existence. Our guest speaker on duty, art historian Fien Vrolix, uses Teorema as a canvas for this screening to dissect Pasolini's art-historical inspirations. Ism Kinoautomat
