Description:
Pasolini attempted to debunk
his popular trilogy of life (The Decameron, The Canterberry Tales, The
Arabian Nights) with his film Salo: 120 Days of Sodom. Take a mix of the
Marquis de Sade's book of the same name, a mix of Dante's Inferno,
update to Fascist WWII Italy and you get the acclaimed Italian
director's last film. The story involves a group comprised of the town
of Salo's elite (Banker, Magistrate, etc.) retreating to a chateau in
the mountains.
Faced with a new sense of power they have under Mussolini's social
republic, the group round up local teens and perform out depraved
fantasies that are told to them by an aging group of whores. Many
consider this work to be one of the most disturbing films ever made.
Beyond the endless scenes of coprophagy, I found the pacing to be the
most unbearable part of this film. Pasolini was stabbed to death after
the films completion.
P.S. It's the sickiest film I ever seen! Asian movies with tortures
and blood is nothing in comparrison with this. To be true I didn't like
it, I published it only because it belongs to the WIP genre
