Salo: 120 Days of Sodom (DVD) - NR
Where to even begin?....
Another one of those movies where its not really a bad movie vs good movie, just something that you need to see if you like directors who push the envelope when it comes to depravity and all things taboo. Released in 1975 and directed by Pier Paola Pasolini and the best way to describe it is what they have via on the Wiki page,
Again, i warn anyone that this type of movie is not for those with the faint of heart and unable to handle very extreme scenes and imagery. I simply could not rate it because while it is wonderfully shot and certainly pushes the boundaries of one's morality its not a movie i need to see more than once. The description from Wiki really wont do it justice in terms of sheer disgust and depravity as you have just about everything imaginable happening (golden showers, defecation, rape, sodomy, etc). Never the less, this movie managed to gain critical acclaim from various historians and critics a like despite how controversial it was and still is. Only view this if you have a interest in cinematography in general.The film focuses on four wealthy, corrupt fascist libertines after the fall of Benito Mussolini's Italy in July 1943. The libertines kidnap eighteen teenagers and subject them to four months of extreme violence, sadism, and sexual and mental torture. The film is noted for exploring the themes of political corruption, abuse of power, sadism, perversion, sexuality and fascism.
