Salo
Film Screening
Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini's
This sceening of Pasolini's Salo is being held in conjunction with the October 18 roundtable, Paraphilias.
"Pier Paolo Pasolini's notorious final film, Salo, 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 18th-century opus of torture and degradation to 1944 Fascist Italy 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
The screening is made possible by arrangement with Criterion Video and Janus Films.
