Summary
Pasolini's last, hugely controversial work is a graphic, unsparing adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's novel. Updated to 1944, the film is set in Salo, a minature Fascist Republic that survived as the rest of Italy was surrendering to the Allies. Sixteen youths are abducted and taken to a palace where they are subjected to various forms of torture and degredation overseen by a group of Fascists. Pasolini described his final testament as "a mad dream".
