  1. CW: fascism, Epstein

    If you haven't seen this film—maybe just don't. Excellent film, but brutal & hard to watch. It's been ~40 yrs since I saw it, but it will never leave me.

    Anyway, I realized lately this is just a film about Epstein Island.

  2. "In questo intreccio tra malavita privata e malavita pubblica, tra libidine violenta e #guerra, sembra di vedere la Salò di #Pasolini: il vero volto di un #fascismo inteso come abuso permanente."

  3. At the age of 24, I saw on three consecutive days Alejandro Jodorowsky's Santa Sangre, Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò, and Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.

    Curiously, of the three, Santa Sangre lingers the most in my memory. In contrast, I hardly remember A Clockwork Orange. However, Salò remains the most profoundly disturbing movie I have ever watched.

    ‘You have to be ready to see it’: Abel Ferrara and Catherine Breillat on why Pasolini’s Salò is a gift that keeps giving

    Pier Paolo Pasolini’s notorious film is now 50 years old, and its cavalcade of shocking cruelty and violence still leaves a stark impact on its viewers. Film-makers explain why Pasolini ‘was a saint to us’

    "Watching Pier Paolo Pasolini’s *Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom*
    today is as extreme and at times unbearable an experience as it was 50 years ago, when it marked its troubled premiere. Its scenes of forced sex, bodily sadism, coprophagy, humiliation, and mutilation, filmed in magnificent settings and with exquisitely beautiful formal apparatus, generate the same horror, the same moral repugnance. But above all, the field in which the film extends its relevance with greatest authority is the political, which is the what most interested its director. What *Salò* enunciates — a study of the violence that underlies the exercise of power in capitalist societies — has not lost one iota of its potency and validity. Perhaps that message was the veiled motive behind the initial attacks on the movie by extremist groups, while a furious rush to ban its screening — including a prison sentence for its producer — was unleashed in the courts: there were no longer any means to enforce the court’s conviction against Pasolini, the director, since he had been murdered shortly before the film’s release. A death that is still considered, incidentally, one of the most high-profile cases in Italy’s recent history, and which for many is linked to the prophetic message of *Salò* itself."
