Salo is a testament to the power and iconoclasm of film as an art form. There will likely never be a greater distillation of exactly what fascism is at is most essential: a masculine and violent manifestation of sexual pathology and gratification through dominance and exploitation.

Woman in the Dunes 1964
A visually striking and at times harrowing distillation of post-war japanese society, capturing beautifully the cycle of poverty, tradition, exploitation and sexual humiliation that dictate life in places passed over by modernity. A tale of self realization and profound insight into what it is to find meaning in the day to day.
