Skinopsis

Those pervy Fascists sure knew how to live! Now, we're not condoning it or anything, but what better way to use your brutal political authority than to round up all of the fresh young teens of the town and use them as your own personal cum receptacle/punching bags. There are tons of nude scenes, rape scenes, extreme torture, pissing, shit–eating (that's Renata Moar on the oh–so–tasteful DVD cover, just after eating a spoonful)... you name it, these Mussolini–lovers did it. Extremely perverted! Official synopsis below.

Pier Paolo Pasolini's notorious final film, Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom, has been called nauseating, shocking, depraved, pornographic... It's also a masterpiece. The controversial poet, novelist, and filmmaker's transposition of the Marquis de Sade's eighteenth–century opus of torture and degradation to Fascist Italy in 1944 remains one of the most passionately debated films of all time, a thought–provoking inquiry into the political, social, and sexual dynamics that define the world we live in.

-- Rick Stanko

Review

Pier Paolo Pasolini's last film is an unbelievably bleak and depressing vision of the human condition which shocked audiences with its brutally graphic scenes of sexual degradation and oppressive violence. The director transposes the Marquis de Sade's novel about the debauching of the four pillars of 18th century French Society to World War II Italy.
