The film that inspired one of my all-time favorites, to be fair, there's quite a difference between both films. Visitor Q is balls-the-walls insane, Theorem is a more serious and mysterious take on the same premise. I wasn't exactly surprised, which is why it took me so long to finally get around to it.
Making direct comparisons to Visitor Q is pointless, Pasolini's Theorem is very much its own thing. I wasn't too taken by the performances and the cinematography is quite murky, but there are some interesting scenes and the film kept me intrigued from start to finish. Overall, it's wasn't a major success though.
