It got on my radar because it had John Hurt in a lead role, and how often does that happen? And then the rest of it turned out to be terrific, too.
Terence Stamp is awesome--a couple of other films of his I like are Pasolini's Teorema and Soderbergh's The Limey.
I'm definitely going to see The Limey; it also seems that I should see Poor Cow (1967), which The Limey samples for backstory, and The Collector (1965), since I remember enjoying the book. I hadn't realized or remembered he was in Teorema—I wanted to see that one after I found it mentioned in some of the same articles as Dennis Potter's Brimstone and Treacle (1976), which I loved. Thank you!
