SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“[R]emains cinema’s most confrontational — and therefore most necessary — vision of the perverted chaos that autocrats seek to create under the guise of state control.”
116 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. In Italian, French, German, and English with English subtitles.
Screening as part of “Fall of ‘75,” a celebration of some of the greatest films from one of cinema’s greatest years.
The notorious final film from Pier Paolo Pasolini, Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom has been called nauseating, shocking, depraved, pornographic . . . It’s also a masterpiece. The controversial poet, novelist, and filmmaker’s transposition of the Marquis de Sade’s eighteenth-century opus of torture and degradation to Fascist Italy in 1944 remains one of the most passionately debated films of all time, a thought-provoking inquiry into the political, social, and sexual dynamics that define the world we live in. – Criterion Collection
