Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom

I get asked a lot what my favorite review of the entire series is.  The answer to that question is this one right here.  The "Salo" video.  It isn't the funniest of the whole series, and it might not have a lot of rewatchable value, but it's definitely the most stand out video of all of them I've done.

The video just started out as an experiment.  What if the Snob reviewed Passolini's "Salo," one of the most controversial, perverted, and disgusting movie on the face of the planet; but as a twist, the character loves the movie because it's still a pretentious art film, even though the movie makes him physically sick. 

It's the hardest video I ever had to write for the series.  It's one thing writing a fake negative review for a movie I kinda like, but it's a whole other thing to write an incredibly pretentious positive review for a movie that I personally don't like.  This video is my favorite, because the entire series is satirical.  It makes fun of pompous arrogant movie critics who try to review exploitation films (and yes, it's also about me taking many jabs at the movies themselves).  And in my mind, this review really gets that through, because in the league of artsy film criticism, the same critic who would give something like "Cannibal Holocaust" a zero star review would turn right around and give a movie like "Salo" a Best Film of the Decade award.  To me, this video really nails that home, and that's why this one is my favorite.

    I know that the cinema snob is a character, but his insights into b-movies really do give sage advice for aspiring authors of serious fiction. On the other hand, here you did a very effective satire on people who cheer for the ugliest of things passed as high art. I certainly wouldn't like this film.

        Since Divine actually performed the "act" of actually eating shit, and wasn't just using some sort of an orange chocolate paste it would be unfair comparison. Actually if Divine showed up in Salo it might have been easier to keep interest in. Basically there are only two types of characters in this film the Nazis being human filth, and their victims who are just fucking weak. I would sooner die then allow someone to force me to eat shit.

        I have to be honest when I say this film bored me to tears. It is much more intelligent then any of the other films the Snob has reviewed as of yet, but that doesn't exactly make it good. The feeling that Passolini was attempting too hard to shock, and disturb his audience is something I found distracting.

      The only silver lining on the cloud of shit that is "Cannibal Holocaust" was that it helped pave the way for actually good "faux" documentaries. If it wasn't for the use of real animal killing footage, and the whole ordeal where the director was arrested due to some dumb ass cops in Italy believing the film to be "real" the movie would have stayed where it belongs in shitty movie hell.

      Peta could probably find good use for it though. I'm sure it could probably traumatize a lot of the weak minded to go Vegan.

      This review sums up my experience watching this. I understand what Pasolini was trying to say, but this movie is practically unwatchable.

      Once was more than enough for me.

      The only other movie of Pasolini's that I've seen was The Gospel According to St. Matthew. Unfortunately, it was a dubbed version, so it was hard for me to really appreciate the film without laughing at the horrible dubbing job.

      I can't say that I'm a Pasolini fan.

      No personal offense but while Salo's quality is debatable, Cannibal Holocaust's is not. Deodato chose to make the film shocking in a way that a troubled adolescent child would have. Instead of relying on talent, and story he just threw a shit load of on screen animal killings, which I thought was extremely lazy. The only thing that kind of dilutes the potency of the anger those scenes cause in me is the fact that after the scenes were shot the natives in the film would actually eat, and not just waste the animals. I would not be surprised if a large portion of the people who saw that drivel turned Vegan after wards.

    Your review was absolutely genius and the ending was haunting like the one in the movie. Also you did a great job in satirizing the over pretentious film critic that can't enjoy a movie if it doesn't make an over elaborated point. You are saying if you want a complex plot in a movie than you have to suffer the complexity and graphical nature that comes in proving the plot, principle and moral. Also the movie has really a modern look on modern society that the fascists are like the superficial people we have today that if you aren't like them and with them you will be properly dealt with. Great review and I hope you expose the Snob to other great movies to see him suffer like Cannibal Holocaust or 2009 Antichrist.

      or have you only read the parts de sade was able to finish (basically the first 30 days) and had no access to his framework for the following 90 days. because that is when things really become awful. there is a reason why this book ist considered to be the most evil one in the history of literatur. if anything from the marquis can be considered lighthearted it has to be 'La Philosophie dans le boudoir' where he actually explains his fixation with shit.

    I hated this movie so much. Extremely heavy handed and pretentious as all hell. I get the feeling that if Pasolini himself did not state in an interview that the shit eating was meant to be a take on mass produced foods, that nobody would have seen the point he was trying to make. I couldn't find a single line of dialogue that even hinted at Pasolinin's point with the shit eating. I saw no metaphor and I saw no art. I just saw people eating shit.

    That's one of the biggest problems with the movie and the shit eating in particular. I don't expect a film maker to blatantly state his intentions with every scene in his films, but I do expect there to be allusions within the film to the point that he's trying to make. If you have to explain your intentions in an interview OUTSIDE the context of the film itself, then you have not made a good film at all.

      Well said.

      Plus, factory-processed foods = our bodies are "factories" = we might as well eat shit? Um, our bodies do more than just digest the food we eat; eating brains and blood (zombies!) would make as much sense metaphorically as shit; plus, almost everything we as humans own comes from factories, from our clothing to the materials that make up our homes, to bicycles, and computers... so we might as well just wallow completely in shit too eh? Let's not forget too, that "natural" foods have, for centuries and still to this day, been grown via, what else, manure. In summation, Pasolini, your "thesis" is completely buttfucking retarded and only gullible fools with no critical thinking skills whatsoever would actually be impressed by this; no wonder pretentious, self-righteous knobs like Michael Haneke and Catherine Breillat jerk off to this movie so much.

    I got this film when I wanted to be "shocked". And all the other text reviews stated how it was a dark and disturbing tale that will drag you into a pit of darkness that you will never return from.

    But I found this film to be bland, like the shit the girl had to eat. I was just there. Playing in my DVD player.

    I didn't hate it, it wasn't offensive, it was not magnificent and groundbreaking, it was just there like the shit on the floor.

    I guess my imagination was much better then the real deal. I wanted some dark, and twisted stuff. Not something that is less messed up then a Nick Cage movie, "8mm", not The Wicker Man.

    I just wish that I had got "Battle for Algiers" at that time instead of this disc of bland.

    Good satire here, I've always felt this way about this movie. I have a friend who thinks this movie is INGENIOUS but "Aliens" is trash because it has no "subtext." That's why we never swap movie recommendations (At least we have the same taste in music and games) lest I get stuck with something like this. I also don't think this is deserving of the Criterion Collection, a series that I actually for the most part have stuck with.

    I will admit, the film didn't shock me, but it, to me, was just forced. It was in bad taste and there were times it was gross, but it was forced. I'm fine with "subtext," but its so thinly spread over the director going "Hurr hurr hurr, LETS GROSS PEEPLE OUT FOR TEH SAKE OF ART!" and the writer saying "Shouldn't this have some meaning?" and the dirctor responding "As long as its sick, SHOOR"

    I suppose that's what exploitation is all about though.

    And, as a fun fact: Funny that some movies reviewed here are "foreign copys", so as a german Filmfan, I think, that some copys are just straight from german-/austria releases.

    Keep up the good work and I'd love to see the Snob review Bruno Matteis last two zombie movies: "Island of the living dead" and "Zombie - The Beginning" (yes, the second one, even if it sounds different, is the "sequel").

    I enyoid both flicks, Mattei even steals short scenes from Uwe Bolls "House of the Dead". It's epic cheesy Trash at his finest. (And, another good thing, the Sequel "Zombies - The Beginning" is even better than the first one.)

    If you don't have them, check them out, it were the last Movies Mattei shot.

    It may be pretentious, but I enjoyed the film and its message. Of course, I find the works of the Marquie de Sade, philosophy and freeing sense of moral ambiguity to be wildly interesting. Salo is great although Sade's original book (120 Days in Sodom) is WAY more graphic than this film version. No matter how much I enjoy what the film stands for, I do humbly admit that the "Circle of Shit" segment is the only part of film I've ever seen in my life that I personally consider to be unwatchable. It's the only thing I've ever seen that upset my stomach to wear I was dry heaving.

    Hi. I discovered your show just two month ago on tgwtg.com. I feel that I need to write these comment because I'm italian and I can understand that Salò is a "difficult movie". In order to understand it, it's necessary to know a little history about Italy.
    When Pasolini shot Salò, Italy was at the beginning of what are called "anni di piombo" (years of lead): a huge wave of terrorism, with frequent bombings and assassitions, some of them with the involvement even of politicians and members of italian secret service. This constant pressure made all the people more apathetic about politics, the italians let our government and our society became more and more corrupted. Pasolini, as a lot of others italian intellectuals and artists, tried to "wake up" all the people. Pasolini wrote, i quote, "everyone in Italy feel the demeaning need to be free, to consume, to be equal [...] but this freedom was not conquered, it's a false freedom that others give us".
    So, Salò is not only a representation of power, but also a metaphorical representation of Italy during the years of lead, where people prefer to "eat shit" to feel free and not scared just for a minute.

    I apologize for my english. As I said, I'm italian and I'm not used to write in English. I hope I make myself clear.

    Two "technical" problems with your review:
    1. "written and directed" translate in "scritto e diretto", not "scritto y diretto". "y" is spanish, not italian.
    2. Italy was not "occupied" by nazist. The italian fascist regime was allied of Adolf Hitler.

      The entire movie is set during the period of the Italian Social Republic, a "fake government" created in Salò (a city in northern Italy) by Mussolini and the last people of the fascist party at the end of the war. In the meantime italians took back their democratic government with the help of Allied forces and italian civil resistance. So their absence would not be strange at all. Symbolically the story could even rappresents the last scream of madness of a dying regime.

    I am sure you've had this suggested to you a million times (and you may have already seen/done a review of it somewhere, haven't been through all your stuff yet) but I think doing an "In the Realm of the Senses" video in a similar fasion would be pretty hilarious. Also, I am aware this is an old ass post and likely you wont be reading this but I figured, fuck, why not post it here.

    Your review was absolutely genius and the ending was haunting like the one in the movie. Also you did a great job in satirizing the over pretentious film critic that can't enjoy a movie if it doesn't make an over elaborated point. You are saying if you want a complex plot in a movie than you have to suffer the complexity and graphical nature that comes in proving the plot, principle and moral. Also the movie has really a modern look on modern society that the fascists are like the superficial people we have today that if you aren't like them and with them you will be properly dealt with. Great review and I hope you expose the Snob to other great movies to see him suffer like Cannibal Holocaust or 2009 Antichrist.
    Thanks

    I know that the cinema snob is a character, but his insights into b-movies really do give sage advice for aspiring authors of serious fiction. On the other hand, here you did a very effective satire on people who cheer for the ugliest of things passed as high art. I certainly wouldn't like this film.

    The part where one of the girls and one of the boys are forced to marry and consumate it infront of the libertines, we got so bored I started blaring "Working for the Weekend" to give that scene a sound track. Am I going to hell for that? I'm very certain I am lol.

    Great review. Sickening movie. The thing is, that it's not like the Marquis De Sade was actually that brilliant a writer. I know I'm going to get shot for saying this, but I really don't think he was. He had his good points, but I wouldn't say he was Oscar Wilde any day of the week.

    What I don't understand is the the book "120 days of Sodom" was about a group of old lechers who wanted to get the ultimate sexual gratification before they kicked off the earth, which spiralled out of control into torture and abuse as their humanity derailed drunk on the power of distortion and the ability to dominate and destroy. Why the fuck did Pussolini decide to extrapolate that for a metaphor for human consumption and consumerism in a modern age? Not even De Sade was that pretentious and he was a fucking libertine!

    I mean, nowadays we've seen everything (literally everything THANKyou rule 34, you bastard) on the internet, so shock value has diminished severely. It's become that now if you want something to be taken seriously, it has to have more than shock value to make its point. Fuck that, if you put in gratuitous sex and violence and try to make it shocking without any other substance, 15% of your audience will be asleep, 30% will be playing video games with it on in the background, and 45% will be jerking off to it! Violence is violence. Don't try to stick the Mona Lisa on it and say that it signifies the manifestation of the golden ratio because NO ONE is going to take you seriously. If you're going to pair the violence with actual substance matter, then that's a different discussion, isn't it?

    I haven't seen this movie so I don't know whether it has substance beneath the violence, but it doesn't really look like it does. And I've had enough exposure to the book to know I DON'T want to see a 1940s-based movie on it.

    Again, really brilliant review. It really encapsulates the entire Snob persona, and is probably the most biting Cinema Snob satire so far. Also, Brad, did you really just swallow a raw egg????
