Pasolini's final and most controversial film has been banned censored and reviled the world over since it's first release. The film is based on the Marquis de Sade's novel '120 Days of Sodom', with the setting transposed to Mussolini's miniature Fascist Republic of Salo, Italy in 1944. The film's content and imagery is extreme, and it retains the power to shock, repel and distress a quarter of a century on. 'Salo' remains a cinematic milestone - culturally significant, politically vital and visually stunning.

Salò review by TB

One can understand why censors in the 70's cut this film - not so much because of the sex and violence, but for the humiliating and degrading treatment of the characters. The teenage victims are even for today's standard treated harshly, whereas the sex and violence seem more tame than in recent films. Watch it in spite of the more unpleasent scenes as it is based on a classic tale by de Sade.

Salò review by 's swaile'
Strange...

I watched this and it was very bizarre! I wouldn't say it was shocking, but there are some pretty minging things these young people have to do. It kept me watching and would give it maybe a 6 1/2 - 7 out of ten. It is subtitled, but that didn't bother me. It is mostly about making people eat poo I would say, but at the end people get tourtered, although u don't see the full extent you get the idea, you get to see toungue cut out, eye gauged out and a ladies scalp cut and peeled, hmmm. U will have to watch it to understand..
