Pier Paolo Pasolini wanted to end his cinema career with this film in order to devote himself entirely to writing. But "Salò - The 120 Days of Sodom" remained his last work; the Italian filmmaker, one of the most radical social critics of the 20th century, did not live to see the release of this masterpiece. For a long time the film was nowhere to be seen, and if it was, then only in an edited version. Viewers were not to be subjected to these images - indeed: the scenes are drastic, but it is not only the explicit depictions that shock. Above all, it is the context of the setting that is disturbing. Pasolini also revokes his Trilogy of Life with this literary adaptation based on the Marquis de Sade's book of the same name, those three frivolous films with which the director wanted to liberate the lusts and fight against censorship. But Pasolini had made his calculation with these films without capitalism. More on this by Wolfgang M. Schmitt in The Filmanalysis!
