5.0 out of 5 stars This is a film for cultivated people, 2 Dec 2004
Do not watch this or any other Pasolini's film unless you are able to understand that film is not just entertainment and you think you're capable of reading between the lines.
This film deals with very impostant topics such as the mentality of the bourgeoisie in those years, sexuality and its taboos and spirituality.
Pasolini's style is unmistakeable and unique: only a superficial viewer would call it pretentious.
buy this film and enjoy it

5.0 out of 5 stars All depth and no surface, 26 Oct 2006
By Kieran F. Johnston (Shah Alam, Selangor Malaysia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great film, but it requires more patients than a bankrupt proctologist. The difficulty in watching this film is that the symbols are not the servants to the meaning, but the masters, and few people like watching a film that is "unrealistic" because form revolts over matter. It feels at times like T.S. Eliot has taken Emily Dickinson by the hand and is giving her a guided tour of the Waste Land.
I admire this film greatly but I will never like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars for pasolini fans only., 31 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is not an easy film to talk about. it's pretentious and absurd in places, brilliantly surreal the rest of the time. but if you like Pasolini's films then you will enjoy this. It features one of Terence Stamp's best performance.

2.0 out of 5 stars So Disappointing...
