salò o le 120 giornate di sodoma (salò, or the 120 days of sodom) (1975)
okay.
so i'd seen this already about five or six years ago.
i remember being incredibly disturbed and perplexed by it.
i wondering if, perhaps, it wouldn't be as shocking as i remembered it.
wrong.
it's interesting how pasolini uses gorgeous composition and setting to contrast the atrocities committed in the film. it gives the whole film a necessary detachment.
it really is a pretty brilliant (albeit miserable and terrifying) piece of angry, angry filmmaking.
