'Salò' by Pier Paolo Pasolini on DVD

Criterion Collection releases Pasolini's last film, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom.

"Pier Paolo Pasolini's notorious final film, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, has been called nauseating, shocking, depraved, pornographic . . . it's also a masterpiece. The controversial poet, novelist, and filmmaker's transposition of the Marquis de Sade's 18th-century opus of torture and degradation to 1944 Fascist Italy remains 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."
