SALÒ, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM

MALMÖ ANTIFASCISTA invites you to CINEMA RESISTENZA's presentation of Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom - a film presentation commemorating the 81st Anniversary of Italy’s Liberation from Nazifascism on 25 April 1945The film is notorious, and rightly so, for the extremity of what it depicts. It has been banned, censored, and condemned in numerous countries. Yet to dismiss it as mere provocation is to miss its intellectual core. Pasolini was a poet, a novelist, a philosopher, and a polemicist; in Salò, he brings all of these faculties to bear on the question of what happens when power becomes absolute and the human body is reduced to an object of consumption.
