Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

Another chance to hear one of the most popular episodes of Cinema Italia, recorded in 2023.

Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom was released in 1975 and became an instant milestone in the cinema of transgression. A political fable, it tells the story of four men who in the waning days of Fascist Italy retire to a villa to enjoy their perversions and sadism at the expense of the young people they have captured. Torture, rape, murder and degradation are explicitly depicted in a way that remains shocking to this day. I talk with Jason Wood, author and film programmer for the BFI, about this electrifying, challenging film. The Music for the podcast is provided by Two Minute Noodles and more can be found here.
