While openly gay from the very start of his career, Pasolini rarely dealt with homosexuality in his movies. The subject is featured prominently in "Teorema" (1968), where Terence Stamp's mysterious God-like visitor seduces the son and father of an upper-middle-class family; passingly in "Arabian Nights" (1974), in an idyll between a king and a commoner that ends in death; and, most darkly of all, in "Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom" (1975), his infamous rendition of the Marquis de Sade's compendium of sexual horrors.
