An enigmatic and symbolic look at the bourgeois milieu and the effect that a
mysterious visitor has on one specific family. Into the life of a prominent
Milanese family walks a young man, an angelic-looking stranger, whose spiritual
sexuality touches each member of the household in a different way.
He becomes involved with the housemaid, the son, and then the wife and the daughter,
and at last, the father. Then one day he leaves as mysteriously as he arrived,
leaving everyone unable to cope with their spiritual void. Theorem is
full of associations to Cocteau. The father is dazzled by the sun's reflection
and tries to walk forward, simply like a blind man. He is like Orpheus coming
back from hell blindfolded, Oedipus wandering in the streets of Thebes at the
end of his life. It is a specific metaphor encompassing part of Cocteau's philosophy.
一名神秘青年，來到米蘭的一所郊外大宅，來歷不明，用心難測，但先後將那裡的人逐一迷倒、勾引，先是女僕、兒子、繼而是母親、女兒，最後連父親也活生生墮進他的慾網之中。
柏索里尼謎一樣的佈局，借尚．高克多喜愛的神話、聯想，似有還無的質疑了中產階層的虛無、骨子裡的慾望橫流。戲中父親在日光下前行，隻手撇日，隻手掩眼，活像瞎子走路，一如尚．高克多的奧菲爾，從地獄中活命過來，象徵意義不言而喻。柏索里尼借大宅來喻城，不就是高克多借寓言來自省？
