CGiii Comment
Pasolini's final film - he definitely left something behind.
This is not for the sensitive - this is cruelty without respite.
Many years ago...I and a friend went to see this at the Scala in Kings Cross, London. My friend was reduced to heart-wrenching sobs and had to walk out. I have never seen a human being so profoundly upset.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Set in the Nazi-controlled, northern Italian state of Salo in 1944, four dignitaries round up sixteen perfect specimens of youth and take them together with guards, servants and studs to a palace near Marzabotto. In addition, there are four middle-aged women: three of whom recount arousing stories whilst the fourth accompanies on the piano. The story is largely taken up with their recounting the stories of Dante and De Sade: the Circle of Manias, the Circle of Shit and the Circle of Blood. Following this, the youths are executed whilst each libertine takes his turn as voyeur.
