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.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Empty Exercise
Many reviewers are basing their opinions on Pasolini's reputation and just assuming that because Pasolini made a number of masterpieces that this too must somehow merit our attention.

After having viewed several of Pasolini's other films I have to say that this is his weakest. The film's reputation (or notoriety) has little to do with the actual substance of the film. If the film is critiqued according to the normal criteria of film criticism it would have to be judged a failure for ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - CHILD PSYCHOLGY/PSYCHIATRY AND PHARMACOLOGY
Criterion Collection: Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom [1975] (REGION 1) (NTSC)


This DVD was available virtually to all who wished to see it in the 1970's. I watched some of it when i was a child in care. I think that this was due to the fact that fascism was never confined to the peoples of Germany and their allies but to all peoples who think they are superior to others in all sections of the world's communities. Academics are amongst the new faces of fascism especially child psychology ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Highly disturbing, only recommended for a few people.
I'll make this short. Salo has got to be one of the sickest and most disturbing films ever made, I don't think there ever will be a film made like this. This film was out of print for a while and some rare copies were available on e-bay for around $600, so was it really worth that much? I don't think so unless you're insane or extremely rich. I happened to find a bootleg dvdr copy that was really cheap and when I first watched this I honestly felt sick like I was about to throw up. Criterion has finally re ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A Film That Need Not Be Watched
I first heard about this film in college, during a sociology of film course. My professor lauded this film as being a work of genius. As a lover of political cinema, my curiosity grew and I tried to get a copy, but at over $1,000 dollars, my dreams of seeing this political masterpiece seemed bleak at best.

For years, I scoured the internet with no success. Salo had become my holy grail. So you can imagine how excited I was when this was finally re-released.

Anyone who has read ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - An Exercise in Endurance
If Pasolini made this film in order to disturb people, he certainly was successful. Salò is disturbing, but not necessarily shocking. It is certainly anti-erotic in the extreme for it is almost exclusively about power, and [...]. The four Fascist hosts (the duke, the president, the magistrate and the bishop) are so disgusting, but almost tedious in their perversions. I was more disturbed by the grotesque madams who share their lewd stories with a piano accompaniment.

Pasolini clearly had ... Read More
