It's a film that would go above the head of the average American, who is hardwired to view any instance of sex or nudity in film as simultaneously titillating and shocking to their Puritan sensibilities. So much of Pasolini's symbolism is lost on most of us.

I unashamedly love all of his movies, even the ones that are objectively not so great. Have you read his book
Shock Value
? I credit my early discovery of that sacred text, along with the works of Lester Bangs and Nick Tosches and even Stephen King's
Danse Macabre
, as helping to point me to all of the good ****, culturally speaking. Or, at the very least, all of the interesting ****. (Also, have you read Tarantino's
Cinema Speculation
, which I feel could perhaps do the same for a new generation of budding film buffs?)
Also, have you seen
Thundercrack
? It's a super obscure horror comedy, filmed in the style of a black and white haunted house film and was written by one of Waters' filmmaking idols. Trigger warning: it does contain hardcore sex scenes of the straight, gay and bi varieties, but it is serious filmmaking, not porn.
