Hubert S Okropny, bez wartosci artystycznych. Pozbawiony etycznej granicy smaku. Odrażający obraz aktorów, którzy nie mają poszanowania do człowieczeństwa. Największy upadek reżyserski. Perwersyjny pastisz. Niebezpieczny. Szukając na siłę ukrytych alegorii ociera się o gloryfikacje sodomi. Fakt wykorzystania nieletnich aktorów jeszcze bardziej odraża od spojrzenia na dorobek Pasoliniego. Jedynie scena "psów" posiada, jakkolwiek to by nie brzmiało, faktyczny obraz faszyzmu, konsumpcjonizmu i ich pochodnych. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Audience Member Boring story of 4 rich fairies who like little boys. Nothing to shocking seems pretty believable. Tried shock value with all the homosexuality being it was 70s. Lot of scat play, kinda gross, only disturbing parts happened in the last 10 minutes. Movie is not good, or political in my opinion, just seemed to try pushing limits for no reason. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Isa B After watching just over 30 minutes of this film, the word that came to mind was "sick". The imagery made my stomach turn, but at the same time, I had a deep appreciation for the art of which I was witnessing. These scenes would be incredibly difficult to direct and especially to act out. What I like about this picture is the truth in it. These awful situations really take place in the world, but you never see them depicted in motion pictures. They are always watered down. This film depicts the true evil of such people and their violating actions. The President of this vile subculture of monsters with his cockeye and redhead is possibly the creepiest looking man I've ever seen. He played his role perfectly. The way those predators break the 4th wall makes it appear as though they are looking at you, and that you might be next to be abused. An intelligent choice by Mr. Pasolini. Also, the sound design is great, especially during tense scenes. That jet engine sound really helps to build the tension. At around 1:04, that guy is a true predator. A monster! His arousal and the girl's crying is so true-to-life for that type of personality. His blank stare is like that of a corpse. A gaze of a man who is dead inside. The camera work is great as they violently undress her. It gives a frantic kind of feel to the moment. I think the film is brilliant. I didn't find it to be too over-the-top considering its subject matter. Salò is certainly unlike any film I've ever seen. This is a rare, disturbing masterpiece by the great Pier Paolo Pasolini. 97/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Jay P Disgusting. I am going to spend the rest of my life stealing copies of this film and ritualistically burn it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Darren B Boring, boring and boring A truly boring film perhaps if easily amused you will be entertained for the first while however the novelty of the shock factor will wear away as you realise that this is all you will be seeing for the entire film. A poor storyline lacking proper depth and seemingly no deeper message. A perverts chef d’oeuvre which I refuse to recommend to anyone. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Jose R "Pasolini's 'Salo' presents a challenging exploration, delving into the disturbing realm of brutal, inhumane, and depraved fascist ideologies. It traverses intense territories that may be hard to witness, necessitating a selective approach to viewing. Despite this, the film's cinematography stands out for its striking beauty. The graphic elements, both physically and emotionally demanding, deliver a potent anti-fascist commentary. 'Salo' provides a thought-provoking cinematic experience, albeit one that pushes the boundaries of discomfort." Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
