Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom 4K 1975

In his film adaptation of the Marquis de Sade’s novel, Pasolini transposes the action to 1944–45, to the fascist “Republic of Salò” in northern Italy, where a group of high-society figures led by a prince humiliates, mocks, torments, and tortures young men and women gathered to satisfy the perverted elite, who sense their own impending doom. This ordeal lasts four months. For the adults, it is a final opportunity to satisfy their base instincts; for the young people, it is retribution for their youth and their desire to live.
