Videogum friend Rich Juzwiak, who writes the tremendous website FourFour and also blogs about I Love Money for VH1, likes some fucked up movies, and sometimes he makes me watch one. This week, we talk about Pier Paolo Pasolini’s infamous film Saló: 120 Days of Sodom, which Wikipedia describes this way:

Four men of power, the Duke (Duc de Blangis), the Bishop, the Magistrate (Curval), and the President agree to marry each others daughters as the first step in a debauched ritual. With the aid of several collaborator young men, they kidnap eighteen young men and women (nine of each sex), and take them to a palace near Marzabotto. Accompanying them are four middle-aged prostitutes, also collaborators, whose function in the debauchery will be to recount erotically arousing stories for the men of power, and who, in turn, will sadistically exploit their victims.

A warning: Saló is not really safe. For anything. So the discussion is NSFW.
