The controversial poet, novelist, and filmmaker's transposition of the Marquis de Sade's eighteenth-century opus of torture and degradation to 1944 Fascist Italy remains of one of the most passionately debated films of all time, a thought-provoking inquiry into the political, social, and sexual dynamics that define the world we live in.
Pasolini's last film is an unbelievably bleak and depressing vision of the human condition which shocked audiences with its brutally graphic scenes of sexual degradation and opressive violence. The director transposes the Marquis de Sade's novel about the debauching of the four pillars of 18th century French Society to World War II Italy.
A group of older Fascists (men and women) bring together a group of teenagers of both sexes and subject them to all kinds of sexual, mental and physical degradation. (Italian with English subtitles)
