I can understand how people might react negatively to this movie
(and judging by other posts, some do), but I found this movie one
of the most interesting and penetrating (hmm, no pun intended)
movies I've seen for a while. It has the right art-mystery-allegory- satire dosage, and they are very well weighed. It was just
fantastic. I am not sure why IMDB categorized it under drama. I
couldn't help laughing the whole way through. I don't think this was
supposed to be taken too seriously, since it was pretty predictable,
after all. It was just really interesting to see the way Pasolini plays
with the Bible, Tolstoy (if only he could watch it!), emotions, and
social satire. Mozart's haunting Requiem crowned it perfectly.
