Interesting facts

Teorema is a 1968 Italian allegorical art film written and directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. The film centers on an upper-class Milanese family who are introduced to, and then abandoned by, an otherworldly man with a mysterious divine force. Themes include the timelessness of divinity and the spiritual corruption of the bourgeoisie.

Production

Teorema was Pier Paolo Pasolini's sixth feature film and the first to use principally professional actors rather than the amateurs and newcomers the director had employed for his previous works.

Shooting took place at various locations around Milan, whilst the final sequence was shot on the slopes of Mount Etna, in Sicily.

Terence Stamp's voice was dubbed by an uncredited Pino Colizzi for the original Italian version of the film.
