-A young man (Terence Stamp) visits a bourgeois (or however you spell middle-class) Italian family, seducing and comforting the religious maid, the sensitive son, the repressed mother, the quiet daughter, and the tortured father, in that order, before leaving them, to fall apart in his absence.-Alright, Pasolini. I get it. Capitalism sucks, abolish the middle class, orgies for everyone. That, sir, is how I'd sum up the great body of your work. Normally, this would be all well and good, because more often then not, your movies are fairly watchable with or without the political subtext. But here? The family disintegrates slowly, yet obviously. Events happen in bursts, with tons of filler space. Yet, for the majority, literally nothing happens.
-Terrence Stamp is dapper, isn't he?
