Plot

A mysterious visitor seduces each member of a wealthy Milanese family and then leaves, changing them.

Sinekatalog’s take

Pier Paolo Pasolini's parable of a mysterious visitor who seduces a bourgeois family is cryptic and provocative. Terence Stamp is hypnotic, and the film mixes religion, sex and class critique.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
