Frame from the film "Fat, or 120 days of Sodom"

The latest film of the legendary Italian poet and director Pier Paolo Pasolini - “Salo, or 120 days of Sodom,” an adaptation of the novel by the infamous Marquis de Sade. The story of the four aristocrats who decided to achieve the highest pleasure through orgies, torture and murder of their victims-teenagers in a locked castle, Pasolini transferred during the decline of fascist Italy, giving it an even darker and, of course, sharply social hue.

Pasolini shows all the torture, murder and rape very naturalistic and brutal - he clearly understood that the film would have problems with censorship, but did not hesitate at all. Probably, because the political message of the tape would obviously not have worked so well, had it not been so physically unbearable to watch it. By the way, the murder of Pasolini, committed a few weeks before the premiere of the film, is attributed by many to the social criticism of his film.
