Aroview: More extreme in content than anything else in our library, an embittered Pasolini spares the viewer nothing in his faithful adaptation of The Marquis De Sade’s novel “120 Days of Sodom”, transposed to fascist Italy 1944. It’s a gruelling portrait of unhinged transgression, where sixteen young captives are subjected to various humiliations by renegades of Mussolini’s elite. Remains unchallenged as the most controversial piece of ‘legitimate’ cinema ever made.
