Like nothing you've seen.
Pasolini's film is similar to late-vintage Bunuel: a scathing allegory of bourgeois society.
A beautiful, enigmatic young man (how else to describe the very young Terence Stamp?) arrives in a splendid villa and becomes involved with, pretty much, everyone in it.
Upon his departure, all life within the villa is disrupted.
I don't know why, since I'm not a fan of fanciful works in general, but I liked this a lot. The score by Morricone is wonderful.
Not just for Pasolini "junkies:" there is much beauty here, and several scenes seem to have affected Kubrick...

How was the image quality? On the original tape that I have it is horrible, getting in the way - is the DVD better?
At any rate, I stuck it into the queue... between the Seinfeld episodes my wife wanted to see... I imagine her surprise!
A night without a dinner, I am afraid!

  Well, I have a very non-sophisticated system, a 27" old Sony and an el cheapo JVC DVD player... but the image quality was great to these eyes.
