Tagline: The final vision of a controversial filmmaker

Plot: Pasolini's last, hugely controversial work is a graphic, unsparing adaptation of Marquis de Sade's novel. Updated to 1944, the film is set in Salo, a miniature Fascist Republic that survived as the rest of Italy was surrendering to the Allies. Sixteen youths are abducted and taken to a palace where they are subjected to various forms of torture and degradation overseen by a group of Fascists.

The film is based on the Marquis de Sade's novel "120 Days Of Sodom", with the setting transposed to Mussolini's miniature Fascist Republic of Salo, Italy in 1944. Pasolini's final and most controversial film has been banned, censored, and reviled the world over since its first release. The film is based on the Marquis de Sade's novel "120 Days Of Sodom", with the setting transposed to Mussolini's miniature Fascist Republic of Salo, Italy in 1944.

The film's content and imagery is extreme, and it retains the power to shock, repel, and distress a quarter of a century on. "Salo" remains a cinematic milestone--culturally significant, politically vital, and visually stunning.
