This song from Half-Life 2 suits Salo much better than the game, IMO. Music is barely a factor in HL2, so its weird that this tune inspires such feeling and dread.
questo film fa schifo, ma non solo per le scene a dir poco inguardabili,ma perchè non parla dei reali fatti della resistenza, inoltre non è credibile che nessun ragazzo si sia provato a difendere o a scappare, io preferirei morire piuttosto che essere trattata in quel modo!!!Questo fil è proprio una cavolata e inverosimile!!!!abbasso quel pervertito di Pasolini e tutte le sue cazzate!!!!viva invece i veri film antifascisti e pro resistenza, quelli si che servono per ricordare!!!! Sara
@DeLucas82 infatti non parla della resistenza, è preso dal romanzo "le 120 gionate di sodoma". il film ha molti significati ma in pratica è la metafora di ciò che il potere fa del corpo umano... ma te lo spiega meglio lui /watch?v=dBH91cuBwLQ
il vero @DeLucas82 scusate ma è la mia ragazza che nonostante vanti conoscenze in molti campi, molto meno, però, di cinema e tantomeno di Pasolini. Questo è un grandissimo film.
I find these arguments on capitalism versus fascism as the target of the film's ire amusing: The way Capitalism is practiced today in the United States, what's the difference, really? [And isn't it cute how the Fox "News" demagogues like Glenn Beck are trying their hand at revisionist history, and tarring The Left with the Fascist brush??!]
I saw this in a shop when I was 14 and looked at the front cover (two naked teenagers with dog collars begging for food) and I just had to buy it. It was just so beautifully shot and had so many thought-provoking messages..
It's nearly three years on now; I have my own little Marquis de Sade and P.P. Pasolini collection in my room, my mind is warped as fuck and I can never eat chocolate ice cream again. Thank you Pasolini, you fucking genius. R.I.P <3
If you want to feel the most deep and darkest side of human nature then see this film. But take precaution and remember, seat belt may not be enough for your mental shocks...........
It was Pasolini's desire to relate the completely fictitious and warped (some even say dull) fantasies of the Marquis De Sade to facist Italy and Nazi Germany that has many commenting on this aspect, which is not entirely wise, since there is no proof that under either the Italian regime or German regime such excesses existed enough to justify the analogy as a serious one.
Instead, it is a euphymism of the director's to make the De Sade's work contemporaneous. It is rich in metaphor.
@tHeWasTeDYouTh LOL u mad bro? I said people should not say that. I know it was based on a book by the Marquis de Sade, I was just saying no one should look into it to much. It was made to shock, plain and simple.
@tHeWasTeDYouTh true, but that is why it suited the Nazi make over. Despite, and maybe because of, what they thought were strict and right morals they were actually all fucked up and vile. like what happens with some priests, particularly catholic ones it would seem. "Abstinence makes the church grow fondlers"
@tHeWasTeDYouTh Fascism IS the main point of this movie and took place during Mussolini's reign in Italy, not the 18th century. Salo was the fascist capital of italy at the time and it is where Pasolini lived and he based it on the things he saw happen during the fascist regime. The book on the was erotic fiction and set in france in the 1600's after the seven year war. Pasolini simply took some of the events that happened in the book and put them into a different plot and setting. idiot....
@tHeWasTeDYouTh Okay, your all over the place, the Salo Republic the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This movie deals with political corruption in fascist Italy. If you watch the interviews they did with Pasolini (criterion collection DVD) he even says this. Also, the book is set in the 1600s, I confused the 7 year war with the thirty years war which ended in 1648, not the 1700s, so i was still right
@gtyuhtyy wow.... just wow...... have you even seen this movie? capitalism? Yeah, because there was so much of that in mussolini's Italy. My argument easy.... perhaps you should brush up on your history and get your facts straight.
@AmbidextrousGuy It's actually both. It's more of a social commentary than an historical film (as was the original book by Marquis de Sade). For example, the shit-eating scenes were supposed to be a metaphor for consumerism, which is a direct dig at capitalism.
@MrVinushka You are right about the consumerism part. Although the book wasnt a social commentary. I have read it, as well as several other works of Marquis de Sade and it is just erotic fiction. But you are right about the dig at capitalism. I guess the one thing we can take from this movie is that there is corruption in all forms of government and there probably always will be hahahaha
@AmbidextrousGuy I've read it too, and I think he's somewhat underrated as a philosopher/social commentator. If you read a book like Justine, there are very clear questions raised about morality and whether it's actually worthwhile being "good". 120 Days Of Sodom was just exploring the depravity of the human mind (although it's not great), and the fact that his books were so insanely popular despite being banned proved that humans really aren't so far detached from their animal urges.
@MrVinushka Yeah, I have read Justine and I get what you are saying. It is just a lot to swollow when you are reading the books, the filth (for lack of a better word) overpowers the underlying messages. Still thought it was funny when I had to go to the erotic fiction section of the bookstore to find Marquis de Sade's books though.
@AmbidextrousGuy Yes, this film is about capitalism. Specially when the "slave" (who enjoyed their humiliation) had to eat shit. When you read Freud, you understand that shit is like money in human's spirit. I'm sorry about my pitfully english...
@tHeWasTeDYouTh you may not like it but it is art, and it is a piece of history. I think this movie is like one of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings. They are amazing paintings, but I wouldn't want one on my wall, nor did I watch the last half of this movie. A true horror film, not glamorized at all just realistic, uncomfortable, horrific and sickening.
@wyrda222 I do not think Cannibal Holocaust is art, the movie shows you how people will do horrible things to others so they can get fame or money
the film crew kills and rapes many of the natives so they can say they are fighting against each other, when they first arrive at the native village the people are just sitting down doing nothing
@tHeWasTeDYouTh ok the first dictionary definition of art i came across is "Human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature." which would include this that and pretty much anything else made by anyone for purposes of pleasure, pain, education or whatever else. you could basically shit on a newspaper and put it up as art, and it would be.
@TheMoon1566 You're fucking HIGH. More disturbing than the August underground series? Seriously? Yep, you're high. I find it hard to beleive that ANYONE could compare this shit- eating fagfest to Mordum.
@TheMoon1566 Mordum contains violence against children too. One of the last scenes in the movie has a dead- kiddy fucking scene in a bath tub.. C'mon man...
@WildlifeSeriaLKiller Mordum looks cartoonish compared to this. More than the horrors perpetuated at the mansion, this whole movie reeks of complete despair, of something sordid that stays with you, long after you seen it. There's no such thing in the august underground series; The only movie I can find paralells is a Serbian Movie
FAGGOT SHIT. This movie is for FAGGOTS. Nothing more than a bunch of male on male fucks scenes for over half the damn movie. I expected to be more disgusted, but unfortunately, this movie falls short. Just a bunch of sadist faggot shit.
@WildlifeSeriaLKiller ...Wow, how very literate of you. Considering the director was gay, I think that explains the homoeroticism. As for the sadism, it was based off a De Sade novel... It was taboo because that was his style and he was making a commentary. How old are you, btw, 12?
I don't know why you expected to be aroused by this film?? It is a controversial film and can interpreted many ways. I found it controversial, am glad I saw it. I probably won't ever watch it again. I guess everyone has their idea of disturbing-but I went in to the film not expecting arousal.
You probably watched "Emmanuelle in America" or "Baise-Moi" expecting something sensual and arousing-but they could be further from it.
@gravelandgrain100 No, not at all. I just didn't see the point of making a film about a bunch of sado-homosexual pedophiles. I guess it isn't really the point, it's the work that went into it. But it can also say alot about the director and screenwriter producing a film like this. Ever seen August Underground's Mordum? Sick shit.
I see your point, and as for August Underground-I want to see that. Just to see it. I recently saw Murder-set-pieces/directors cut. I found that intense, but again lots of people felt let down by it. Of course when the director calls it the most vile horror film ever, that's a lot to live up to.
Like the backcover of the book say: "It is now, friend reader, that it is necessary to arrange your heart and your spirit in the most impure story which never has been made since in this world, the same book can't be meet either in the past or in the future."
Gaga? Oh my no. My username is lifted from a classic breakbeat track. Are you Casey Kasem? What does poker face have to do with anything? Are you high? Please share.
@gtyuhtyy Well in reference to the movie, seeing as how you used that line, if you mean "fascist" like fucking little boys in the asshole, then I don't agree. This movie was lame.
@crimez786 Four men of high wealth and standing kidnap eight boys and girls, lock them in a palace and force them for 120 days of sexual and mental torture. If you can look past the horrible imagey, it actually is very political.
Disgusting and offensive? A moral tail? A warning of facism? All of the above? Maybe but their are more terrible offensive films then this. I didn't like it but no one has the right to tell others not to watch it.
this was a film based on real events, the fact that you all seem to be ignoring that is disgusting. this film portrays these peoples final days. i cried and was angry for them
@fuzzywuzzy315 I do agree 100% it was in fact I walked out, but i don't believe people should be stopped from watching it, but yes it does make one angry well said
Woohoo just got my 'Criterion Edition. Salo ' Uncut and beautiful High def. and I say this is it kids. More sinister than Martyrs and more horrific than Cannibal Holocaust.
But yet more beautiful than Dances with wolves. An amazing amazing film that will depress you for a long time.
@MrShizPoo And probably I don't need to tell you that this scenes you cant find on you tube. This is a movie that could happen in USA(especially nowdays), because has bouth, sex and violence.
Well.. this movie is just a shocking fuckin disturbing thing. That isn't a message or a meaning at all, just: excess of power/facism=bad. Shit for fans of weird.
you compare something like this to saw? Saw is garbage and nowhere near the level of this. This is just a disgusting movie... the storytelling at least gave me a laugh, as stupid as it was. I rented this for 3 days, and couldn't eat for those 3 days
I watched it and I was like whatever... Saw is soo much more disturbing than this... This movie was boring, noyhibg i havent seen in previous movies of the 2000...
Read the book last year, loved it. Watced this film afterwards, loved it as well. Started re-reading it again this week, Day 1 almost activated my gag reflex; I had forgotten just how descriptive it was. I hope to finish the book as soon as possible so I can watch the film again. It would be exceedingly pleasurable, my dear friend-readers, to watch it with someone who has no idea what they are about to witness. Alas, I was born in the wrong century!
I have NEVER seen anything like this film and I could live a contented life never seeing it again. This trailer has amazing music to go with. Like it.
200 years before De Sade even wrote the original book '120 days of Sodom', there was a very wealthy individual who committed acts far more atrocious than what is depicted here, and inflicted them on MANY more people. The most disturbing fact, above all else, is that this individual was a woman - countess Elizabeth Bathory.
I wouldn't be surprised if De Sade took great inspiration from her crimes to help craft his novel.
@tapesan09 I don't think it's so far-fetched. This movie could be set in any point in history, some things never change. You could film it nowadays and set it in, let's say, Abu graib prison, in Iraq...
Before you had Bathory you had Vlad 3--The Impaler(both of whom became inspirations for modern vampires.)
It's possible that DeSade could have know of her,I guess,but his work delves much deeper into sexual pathology(not to mention that he started writing 'Sodom' while imprisoned in the Bastille,so there was alot of anger at the French aristocracy & prevailing morality to fuel it.)
I saw this along time ago. I always remember some guy with a wonky eye in a womans dress making me laugh. Strange film, but nothing extreme compared with the book it was inspired by.
Would I be considered sick minded if I said I loved this movie? I mean it was really disturbing, and hard to watch, but I thought it was really really fascinating. For some reason.
I loved it as well, film shouldn't always show you what you accept, it should also explore the things people don't want to think about. I though it was brilliant!
This movie could be 10 minutes long and it wouldnt make a difference to get its message across. I guess the director just couldnt get enough of the shit eating parts.
A boring, tame movie. If you aren't gay, of no possible interest to any intelligent adult. Many movies made since 1975 are more graphic and violent. The script is so boring, it could kill a yak. The real world is much worse than this.
The most derives from Klossowsky and Bataille.I found it deep in the analysis of power and the relations between power and moral ( and the "reason" of evil). The movie is interesting if compared with the works of W. Reich.
@tlsmith1138 Uh did you actually watch the movie or did you just base your opinion off watching this trailer? While I agree that there have been more graphic films made. You can't honestly say that the real world is worse then the things that occur in this film. And I'm pretty sure that gay people wouldn't be arroused by the things happening in this movie, only the completly depraved would.
@blakiecakes419 Watched the whole movie, start to finish, with english subtitles. Gays would like it for the multitude of penis shots. I get better breast shots in my email. Only a sick MoFo would enjoys the de3praved stuff. Based on the popularity of such movie, I'd say that's an unsettling number of people. Many people and ongoing events in this world make this film look like a good time. You just have to read a little. The world isn't all on .avi, .wmv or any video.
@tlsmith1138 the immanence of the evil in the world is the reality, the attempt to create a onthology of the evil is just an intellectual reductionism, part of an epistemic process. I don't think people watch this film for some kind of sexual pleasure... Sade mon prochain means something.
I think they had Pasolini whacked for spelling out so uh- ...*colorfully* what the ultra-wealthy get up to behind closed doors, how they feed off us so completely the writing has been on the wall for awhile hasnt it
Pasolini was one of the most interesting movie directors on an intellectual level.
The film is loosely based on De Sade, and the coldness of the film is indeed intented. I still find it a very disturbing movie from the perspective of cinema history. Problems with the movie is that you need to be aware of what kind of person Pasolini was and the political climate of italy in the 70ties, an Italy that still had a strong base for fascist elements in society.
People may not agree, but I always found the Duke to be the most sinister of the lot. The other 3 seemed like nothing more than pathetic perverted little rats, but the Duke (or at least the actor playing him) had the presence of a tyrant. Would probably explain why Paolo Bonacelli was the only one of the cast to form a career
The youths forced into military/guard duty are as much prisoners as the slaves, (and were chosen with the same degree of dissecting scrutiny). The moment they were granted a modicum of power and social rank, they were quick to commit some of the worst atrocities against their own people. From the German SA, (pre SS), French Vichy, all the way to Iran's country bumpkin/ Revolutionary Guards.
If you don't understand the impact of this film, try replacing the faces of the four main characters with the faces of Bush, Cheney, Rove, and Wolfowitz.
I didn't gain anything by seeing this movie either, nor will it teach you anything that you may already know concerning how cruel humans can be to one another, particularly during the time in which the film is portrayed (1944). It was made for shock value, and in that since it does succeed. The film does not make you feel good at all, which I believe is the point as well. But a work of art? A masterpiece? That I am not so sure about.
@artstar19 I tend to agree with you. The point of the movie is "Fascism Bad." There wasn't much of a complex message there, and if I'm going to be tortured for two hours they should at least make it worthwhile for my sense of analysis. Plus, the film is mostly pretty boring.
the same autor of delicate verses such as "rose shaped poem" and "gramsci's ashes", novel as "the dream of a thing", one of the deepest sociologist of XX century...
It is to be considered in his wiew of the power and sex as ownership and prevarication.
I really don't see how a film that depicts children eating feces for 30 minutes can be considered a work of art. I consider myself to be pretty open minded when it comes to unconventional cinema, but this movie challenges me.
If anyone was disturbed by this film, good. It shows you have a heart. Its the monsters who watch something like this and are either unaffected or find it amusing.
the movie is not as bad and disturbing as most state it is. it's just a bit too explicit for some people's taste. personally i found it good and worth watching
I just started the book. I have to admit...it really does make American Psycho look like Alice in Wonderland.
You really should be prepared to let yourself be confronted with the images that De Sade has written. The book itself is quit easy to read, his writing style is good to follow.
But it's really gruesome.
It's like you have Canibal Holocaust, add Eyes Wide Shut and multiply it by 2 girls 1 cup.
@champolaglow No I didn't finish the book because a girlfriend of mine gave me the Millenium trilogy...and that was more relaxing to read than De Sade.
I do want to buy the dvd actually. I think you get used to the absurdities, and appreciate the cinematography. Let's not forget that Passolini made some other briljant movies. Amongst others; Il Vangelo secondo Matteo.
Hmm, it's a Grimaldi, if you wonder where they got the money...

More than the horrors perpetuated at the mansion, this whole movie reeks of complete despair, of something sordid that stays with you, long after you seen it. There's no such thing in the august underground series; The only movie I can find paralells is a Serbian Movie

@WildlifeSeriaLKiller ...Wow, how very literate of you. Considering the director was gay, I think that explains the homoeroticism. As for the sadism, it was based off a De Sade novel... It was taboo because that was his style and he was making a commentary. How old are you, btw, 12?

I don't know why you expected to be aroused by this film?? It is a controversial film and can interpreted many ways. I found it controversial, am glad I saw it. I probably won't ever watch it again. I guess everyone has their idea of disturbing-but I went in to the film not expecting arousal.
You probably watched "Emmanuelle in America" or "Baise-Moi" expecting something sensual and arousing-but they could be further from it.
gravelandgrain100 1 year ago
@gravelandgrain100 No, not at all. I just didn't see the point of making a film about a bunch of sado-homosexual pedophiles. I guess it isn't really the point, it's the work that went into it. But it can also say alot about the director and screenwriter producing a film like this. Ever seen August Underground's Mordum? Sick shit.
WildlifeSeriaLKiller 1 year ago
@WildlifeSeriaLKiller -
I see your point, and as for August Underground-I want to see that. Just to see it. I recently saw Murder-set-pieces/directors cut. I found that intense, but again lots of people felt let down by it. Of course when the director calls it the most vile horror film ever, that's a lot to live up to.

200 years before De Sade even wrote the original book '120 days of Sodom', there was a very wealthy individual who committed acts far more atrocious than what is depicted here, and inflicted them on MANY more people. The most disturbing fact, above all else, is that this individual was a woman - countess Elizabeth Bathory.
I wouldn't be surprised if De Sade took great inspiration from her crimes to help craft his novel.

@agwoodliffe
Before you had Bathory you had Vlad 3--The Impaler(both of whom became inspirations for modern vampires.)
It's possible that DeSade could have know of her,I guess,but his work delves much deeper into sexual pathology(not to mention that he started writing 'Sodom' while imprisoned in the Bastille,so there was alot of anger at the French aristocracy & prevailing morality to fuel it.)

A boring, tame movie. If you aren't gay, of no possible interest to any intelligent adult. Many movies made since 1975 are more graphic and violent. The script is so boring, it could kill a yak. The real world is much worse than this.
tlsmith1138 1 year ago
@tlsmith1138
The most derives from Klossowsky and Bataille.I found it deep in the analysis of power and the relations between power and moral ( and the "reason" of evil). The movie is interesting if compared with the works of W. Reich.
But I'm not an intelligent adult so...
alphatest101 1 year ago
@tlsmith1138 Uh did you actually watch the movie or did you just base your opinion off watching this trailer? While I agree that there have been more graphic films made. You can't honestly say that the real world is worse then the things that occur in this film. And I'm pretty sure that gay people wouldn't be arroused by the things happening in this movie, only the completly depraved would.

@blakiecakes419 Watched the whole movie, start to finish, with english subtitles. Gays would like it for the multitude of penis shots. I get better breast shots in my email. Only a sick MoFo would enjoys the de3praved stuff. Based on the popularity of such movie, I'd say that's an unsettling number of people. Many people and ongoing events in this world make this film look like a good time. You just have to read a little. The world isn't all on .avi, .wmv or any video.

@tlsmith1138 the immanence of the evil in the world is the reality, the attempt to create a onthology of the evil is just an intellectual reductionism, part of an epistemic process. I don't think people watch this film for some kind of sexual pleasure... Sade mon prochain means something.

TookYerJob1 1 year ago
Pasolini was one of the most interesting movie directors on an intellectual level.
The film is loosely based on De Sade, and the coldness of the film is indeed intented. I still find it a very disturbing movie from the perspective of cinema history. Problems with the movie is that you need to be aware of what kind of person Pasolini was and the political climate of italy in the 70ties, an Italy that still had a strong base for fascist elements in society.

People may not agree, but I always found the Duke to be the most sinister of the lot. The other 3 seemed like nothing more than pathetic perverted little rats, but the Duke (or at least the actor playing him) had the presence of a tyrant. Would probably explain why Paolo Bonacelli was the only one of the cast to form a career
agwoodliffe 2 years ago
The youths forced into military/guard duty are as much prisoners as the slaves, (and were chosen with the same degree of dissecting scrutiny). The moment they were granted a modicum of power and social rank, they were quick to commit some of the worst atrocities against their own people. From the German SA, (pre SS), French Vichy, all the way to Iran's country bumpkin/ Revolutionary Guards.

I didn't gain anything by seeing this movie either, nor will it teach you anything that you may already know concerning how cruel humans can be to one another, particularly during the time in which the film is portrayed (1944). It was made for shock value, and in that since it does succeed. The film does not make you feel good at all, which I believe is the point as well. But a work of art? A masterpiece? That I am not so sure about.
artstar19 2 years ago
@artstar19 I tend to agree with you. The point of the movie is "Fascism Bad." There wasn't much of a complex message there, and if I'm going to be tortured for two hours they should at least make it worthwhile for my sense of analysis. Plus, the film is mostly pretty boring.

You really should be prepared to let yourself be confronted with the images that De Sade has written. The book itself is quit easy to read, his writing style is good to follow.
But it's really gruesome.
It's like you have Canibal Holocaust, add Eyes Wide Shut and multiply it by 2 girls 1 cup.
