Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom 1975

★★★★ Rewatched 19 Apr 2024

“A world full of Marvel and Netflix just puts Pasolini’s desire to make art so extreme as to reject easy consumerism into so much perspective, ya know?” he said, and put his Criterion edition of Salo on the shelf with the others, all lovingly arranged by spine number. “This film is more important than ever.”
