| Summary |
"Sal ̣or The 120 Days of Sodom (Sal ̣o le 120 giornate di Sodoma, 1975) is one of the most scandalous films ever made. It was Pier Paolo Pasolini's last film; he was murdered shortly after completing it. An adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's vicious masterpiece, but relocated to Facist-ruled Italy, Salo is an unflinching, violent portrayal of sexual cruelty which many find too disturbing to watch. But insightful artworks are often disturbing. Beneath the extreme, taboo-breaking surface of Salo, Gary Indiana argues, is a deeply penetrating account of human behaviour. It's a picture not only of fascism but also, prophetically, of the corporate-run consumer culture we live in today, 'where a limitless choice of gratifications disguises an absence of all choice and all resistance, where nothing can disrupt the smooth operation of a system that turns art into products and people into things.'
