Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

Nominees and Awards

  • ★ 2015 Venice Film Festival Best Restored Film

Synopsis

The notorious final film from Pier Paolo PASOLINI, 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 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.
