Next to The Human Centipede, Salo has to be one of the most f***ed up movies I have ever seen in my life.
The Plot: Four fascist libertines round up 9 teenage boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of physical, mental and sexual torture.
This movie definitely is not for the squeamish, it has been banned in several countries for its graphic portrayals of rape, torture and murder. This fact alone is what sparked my interest in seeing Salo and after watching it, I half to ask myself why I even like watching these movies. It's not like I get any kind of thrill from watching people being sexually abused ( if you do, you have serious problems) but the moment I hear of a film that is considered controversial, I have to see it for myself and judge whether or not I think it should be. This Movie contains a lot of pedophilia, exhibitionism, frotteurism, sadism, transvestic fetishism, urophagia and coprophagia, some of it told in in stories as if it were a beautiful fairy-tail. Understandable why it caused quite a stir. If you like being grossed out this movie is for you, there is something about seeing a teenage boy with feces smeared across his face and bridal gown that makes your stomach turn. Blech!
Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom was made in 1975, was directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini and stars Paolo Bonacelli, Giorgio Cataldi and Umberto Paolo Quintavalle. Check out this fan based trailer:
