Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters - Criterion Collection see more Editorial Review: Product Description: 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 18th-century opus of torture and degradation to 1944 Fascist Italy 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. SPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE-DISC SET FEATURES: New, restored high-definition digital transfer The End of Salò, a 40-minute documentary about the film s final scene Salò: Yesterday and Today, a 35-minute documentary featuring interviews with Pier Paolo Pasolini, actor-filmmaker Jean-Claude Biette, and Pasolini s friend Nineto Davoli Fade to Black, a new short documentary about Salò, featuring interviews with filmmakers Bernardo Bertolucci, Catherine Breillat, and John Maybury New interviews with set designer Dante Ferretti and filmmaker/film scholar Jean-Pierre Gorin Optional English-dubbed soundtrack Theatrical trailer Optional English subtitles PLUS: A booklet featuring new essays by Neil Bartlett, Roberto Chiesi, Naomi Greene, Gary Indiana, and Sam Rohdie, and excerpts from Gideon Bachman s on-set diary Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Heinous and evil...a sure candidate for sickest film ever. I'm really tired of some people trying to defend this film as some sort of demented artistic statement about political dominance and moral depravity. There's nothing artistic about this at all. What this is is a film by an obviously mentally disturbed director (Pier Pasolini) who wanted to take out his inner anger about being oppressed for being homosexual, and he wanted to take it out on the general public at large. What can possibly be artistic about a film which shows a table full of adults ... Read More Rating: - Absolute Darkness "Salo or 120 Days of Sodom" (1975) by Pier Paolo Pasolini is the film the completely lives up to its reputation of one of or even THE most disturbing, depressing, cruel, and unwatchable ever made. I had to fast forward some of the scenes and turned from the screen during the others. It is not surprising because Pasolini had adapted to the screen the most notorious and IMO unreadable novel by Marquise De Sade and updated it from 18th Century France to 1944 Fascist's Italy to so called Republic of Salo ...

It does not mean that it is pretty, or socially acceptable, or humane - on the contrary, film shows the sides of humanity one would rather choose to ignore or not know about altogether. We see four middle aged men along with the four middle aged women arrange for the time and place to exlore limits of human sexuality in the secluded italian castle. Considering troubling context of the movie, director ...

DO NOT LET your children watch this movie. I bought this movie and watch it, after that I threw it in the trash right away. This movie is not for everybody, especially those sensitive ones. It is SICK and I don't recommend at all cost. Rating: - Very Sickening! I rented Saló after reading the reviews on both Netflix and Amazon.com. I thought I was getting a visually stunning, mind opening, erotic masterpiece. What I saw was one of the most disturbing moves ever made. It is sick, twisted and demented to say the least. There is nothing erotic about this movie at all; there is nothing beautiful about this movie at all. I do not believe in censorship and anyone has the right to make a movie on any subject but I do have the right to say this is just not for me and I personally ...
