There's a great UK dvd, restored and everything, part of a Pasolini boxset. well, there was, but it went oop when Tartan went bust. Anyway, its out there..
It combines the major conceptual aspirations seen in his previous films, a work that is equal parts essay, poem and satire about the impact of ideologies on its individuals and the catastrophic consequences on those who refuse to embrace them. One of Pasolini's theories here might be that if opposite terms can describe an individual's character and motivations, that individual is as good as nothing itself.
An excellent film. Pasolini has just blown my mind. obbedienza o disobbedienza. Loved it.
The print I saw on Netflix was very scratched and oddly subtitled. Definitely needs restoration.

i give this a bonus 1/2 star because pierre clementi is so beautiful in it...
