196 - Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom

From contemporary Paris to fascist Italy, this week we tackle one of the most controversial films ever made: Pier Paolo Pasolini’s “Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom”. The 1001 by 1 crew is joined this week by previous guest and host of The Revisionist’s Almanac to break down the themes Pasolini was investigating, the extremities of nudity and the works of the Marquis de Sade, and if the movie is as offensive as it is made out to be. Also, this week Britt recommends “Porco Rosso” (currently available on HBO Max), Joey recommends “The Life of Chuck” (currently in theaters), Adam recommends “Bring Her Back” (currently available to rent on PVOD platforms), and Andrew recommends “The Conformist” (currently on Kanopy & Hoopla).
