Pier Paolo Pasolini's notorious final film, Sal, 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. 2 DVD special edition includes documentaries, new interviews, theatrical trailer, booklet featuring new essays by Neil Bartlett, Roberto Chiesi, Naomi Greene, Gary Indiana, and Sam Rohdie, on-set diary, more. Pier Paolo Pasolini was a celebrated poet, writer, and all-around intellectual, but it was his maverick, controversial filmmaking that distinguished him as an influential artistic force. The director's last film, 120 DAYS OF SODOM, an adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's 18th century novel, remains his most notorious (and most censored) due to its scenes of graphic rape and torture of adolescents. Pasolini relocates the novel's horrific abuses from France to the final days of Mussolini's reign, effectively rendering a grim portrait of the degradation of the human body and spirit beneath Fascist and Nazi rule. Salo, Or The 120 Days Of Sodom Reviews: "...[Pasolini's] most significant film....[Represents] the bitter, empty end."
-- Vincent Canby, New York Times "Pasolini's last film remains profoundly disturbing, its ideas about the commodification of bodies...and the absolute corruption of power resonating far further than its setting..."-- Michael Brooke, Sight and Sound 4 stars out of 5 -- "[B]eneath the glacial cinematography and ornate tableaux writhes a terrifying warning about fascism, consumerism, violence and voyeurism..."-- Jamie Russell, Total Film 3 stars out of 5 -- "A disturbing, necessary film, this makes a fascinating contrast with the current 'torture porn' cycle..."-- Kim Newman, Empire Salo, Or The 120 Days Of Sodom | List Price | $39.95 (You save $8.70) | | Studio | Image Entertainment | | Orig Year | 1975 | | All Time Sales Rank |  3713  | | CD Universe Part number | 7691850 | | Catalog number | 1764 | | Discs | 2 | | Release Date | Aug 26, 2008 | | Rating | Not Rated | | Also Known As | Salo; 120 Days of Sodom | | Running Time | 116 Minutes | | Movie Details | Color; Collector's Edition; Criterion Collection 2-Disc Set |

Life may be dull and ordinary for his father and mother in their small city apartment, but a son's mind and heart stretch far beyond the four walls, imbuing his small world with magic. His imagination transforms a cloistered existence into a richly poetic emotional utopia, where cracking flakes of plaster become autumn's falling leaves, a cold, hard floor becomes meadow grass in spring, and love beckons in the form of a young girl's outstretched hand. Multi-talented composer, writer, director, and artist Lech Majewski chose the Polish National Symphony Orchestra and the Silesian Opera ...
