Editor's note

A wealthy Italian family experiences a dramatic shift in their seemingly perfect life with the arrival of a mysterious stranger simply known as "The Guest." This enigmatic individual embarks on a calculated seduction of each family member, one by one. As their carefully constructed facades of happiness crumble, hidden desires and repressed anxieties come to the forefront. Directed by the legendary Pier Paolo Pasolini, "Theorem" is a thought-provoking exploration of human relationships, desire, and the fragility of family dynamics. Prepare to be challenged by its bold and symbolic exploration of human nature, where the lines between reality and illusion become dangerously blurred. This 1968 Italian drama will leave you questioning the very foundation of human connection and the complexities of our fundamental desires.
