Salò, Or the 120 Days of Sodom (Criterion Collection)

The notorious final film from Pier Paolo Pasolini (MAMMA ROMA), SALO, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM, has been called nauseating, shocking, depraved, pornographic... It's also a masterpiece. The controversial poet, novelist, and filmmakers transposition of the Marquis de Sades eighteenth-century opus of torture and degradation to Fascist Italy in 1944 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.
