ITA Pasolini Salo o le 120 Giornate di Sodoma

Making a film from The One Hundred Days of Sodom by DonatienAlphonseFrançois De Sade was a gamble that would have caused a scandal and Sergio Citti, to whom the original idea belongs, was aware of it. Citti will then give the project to his friend Pier Paolo Pasolini, collaborating on the screenplay with Pupi Avati, although the latter due to problems with production will not appear accredited. The violent nature of Pasolini s untimely death, which occurred on the night of November 2, 1975, made Salò or the 120 days of Sodom a cursed film as well as an announced scandal, yet another of a persecuted director, for reasons of censorship or of public morality, for almost twenty years. And he forced the work in the category of artistic and intellectual will.
