salò, or the 120 days of sodom (1975)

"All's good if it's excessive."
Sixteen perfect boys and girls are rounded up by a group of fascist's, in Mussolini's Republic of Salò. They are taken to a mansion and brutally subjected to four months of physical, mental and sexual torture, for the pleasure of three degenerate leaders and a bishop.
Pasolini uses Dante and the Marquis De Sade to explore the human condition, its ability to inflict pain and suffering, and the debasement that is fascism, through the medium of exploitation cinema.
