The film is a metaphor for what happens to different kinds of personalities when they encounter a genuine spiritual experience. In this case, the experience is portrayed in a sexual relationships between the family members and the stranger. I realize many people may disagree with me but this film was at first lauded by the Catholic Church and then later condemned by them, probably because they had the same difficulty understanding it that you had. I hope this helps.

I'm in complete agreement with youI've read other theories and formulated my own while watching it, and you and I have the same one. I guess I'm not alone.

I think its safe to say
Teorema
should not be taken literally in terms of each scene. You have to be an active viewer and interpret the meanings/symbolism of the scenes. Then you might have a better understanding of

Of course not. Any symbolism imposed onto the film only tells you about yourself, not the film.

It's not that difficult - I think this is an extremely unsubtle movie that is very clear about what it is doing. It's basically about the countercultural movement of its day; how the progressive left-wing ideas led to the corrosion of the bourgeois nuclear family, the destruction of its values and identity, forcing them to reinvent themselves. But because the countercultural movement (Terence Stamp's character) withdrew again, society evolved too slowly, and finding a new identity in accordance with their exposure to the changes was very very difficult. So they went into emotional and spiritual dissolution.
The maid who became a Christ-like figure represents the awakening of the working class to class consciousness, symbolized by spirituality.

Interesting take.

Wow, thank you. I'll be creating a post to develop these ideas because I was a little lost and sleepy due to some deprivation from already another put to sleep material like Tarr's Werckmeister Harmoniak.
What you said is almost exactly what I got.
