Nova CarltonCINEMAS

50TH ANNIVERSARY! One of the most controversial films of all time returns to the screen to shock a whole new generation with its unflinching view of human depravity. Described by critics as an 'essential work', it is a favourite of directors John Waters, Gaspar Noe, Michael Haneke and The Brutalist filmmaker Brady Corbet despite being banned in some countries. Based on The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade and directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini (The Decameron), it has earned the reputation of being the "sickest film of all time". Pasolini's desire to burst the limits of filmic storytelling led to the creation of extreme cinema in the years that followed. A diatribe against consumerism and modern society, SALO, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM is not for the faint-hearted. In World War II Italy, four fascist libertines round up nine adolescent boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of torture.
