Sebastiane
Movie • 1976
ReportRome, AD 303. Emperor Diocletian demotes his favourite, Sebastian, from captain of the palace guard to the rank of common soldier and banishes him to a remote coastal outpost where his fellow soldiers, weakened by their desires, turn to homosexual activities to satisfy their needs. Sebastian becomes the target of lust for the officer Severus, but repeatedly rejects the man's advances. Castigated for his Christian faith, he is tortured, humiliated and ultimately killed.

For fun the men put several beetles into a hole and make them fight one another. The men chase and harass a young wild pig before stabbing it to death with their spears.

A young pig is hunted by a group of men and eventually speared to death (the actual killing of the pig is not on screen, the animal is kept just out of the frame). You see blood on a man's hands and later see him hold the dead pig.

The main character is tormented by the antagonist in a way that is explicitly sexual (for example putting his hands on his nude body). The man tormenting him explicitly says that he wants the other man to agree to sex.

The main focus of the film is the main character being tortured for his faith and refusal to have sex with his superior.
