1975 garbageRating: 8/20
Plot: Eighteen kids are kidnapped by fascists in Nazi-controlled Italy and treated meanly. There's lots of what can only be described as grotesque sex.
Unless the point is as simple as "People are mean," I'm missing some context here. This is not a good movie. It's not really even an interesting movie. Director Pasolini was murdered after the release of Salo, and although it's not likely that this movie was the reason why he was murdered, it really couldn't have helped. I just had a tough time trying to figure out exactly what this film is--smut, blacker-than-black comedy, dark allegory, perverse crap? Painstaking and dismal and seemingly empty.
