"Body Heat" is a decent noir.it follows all the rules of the genre & the result is stunning.

actually everything in this movie, is HOT! the weather (Florida state)is HOT, Kathleen Turner (in her film debut ) is really HOT ( she's perfect as a femme fatale), the passionate liaison between Hurt n Turner, is Hot, Mickey Rourke (in a tiny role as an arsonist) makes buildings HOT! & last but not least, Hurt's penis is too HOT (at the boiling point!!)

memorable quote is where Ted Danson's character( whom is a friend of Hurt),tells him: "eventuallly your co** will put you in a deep trouble"!

i had heard about this flick,as a giallo & i liked the previous collaboration of Risi/Gassman in "Profumo Di Donna", so i was curious to watch this "anima persa".

even though this movie is't a gaillo at all,(it doesn't have typical giallo's elements), but it could be classified as a decent horror film. it's impossible for the viewer to forget a major thing : Gassman' penetrating eyes! (what a good actor he is) & he definitely steals the movie.

it could be predictable after the half,that what's going on , but this movie is entertaining to watch.

i'm afraid that "teorema" is a complicated movie & it's not like Pasolini's "trilogy of life" which could attract the mainstream viewers.

this movie has an obscure structure with a mysterious stranger who makes everything upside-down. (who's that stranger? another Billy Budd?(with the same actor), why he sexually influences them all ?)..

it could be interpreted as Pasolini's attack to the fake solidarity in a bourgeois-class family. what i like particularly in "teorema" is Pasolini's masterwork with color, landscapes n architecture.

Depends on your taste & recommended for Pier Paolo's fans,only.
