Overview

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.

Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"...[Pasolini's] most significant film....[Represents] the bitter, empty end." - 10/11/1977 New York Times, p.11


"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..." - 11/01/2008 Sight and Sound, p.84


4 stars out of 5 -- "[B]eneath the glacial cinematography and ornate tableaux writhes a terrifying warning about fascism, consumerism, violence and voyeurism..." - 12/01/2008 Total Film, p.146


3 stars out of 5 -- "A disturbing, necessary film, this makes a fascinating contrast with the current 'torture porn' cycle..." - 11/01/2008 Empire, p.194
