Pier Paolo Pasolini's final film
loosely adapts the Marquis de Sade's The 120 Days of Sodom. Set in World War II
Italy, Salo is the story of a group of Fascists who kidnap and torture adolescent
boys and girls. Perhaps the most disturbing and disgusting film ever made, Salo
is also a brilliant, blistering critique of Fascism and idealism that posits that
moral redemption may be nothing but a myth. Criterion presents the longer version
of the film in this laserdisc exclusive.
