Thank you, I was beginning to think I had seen a different film to everyone
else.

Salo:An 'Italian Social Republic, founded by Benito Mussolini on the
shores of Lake Gardo in Salo.
Critic, friend and collaborator with Piero Pasolini, Enzo Siciliano,
wrote in his biography of Pasolini, the following passages about Salo or
the 120 Days of Sodom.
"Salo or the 120 days of Sodom is a sort of critical essay for images.
The theme of the essay, in which Sade's posthumous novel is taken up as
an intellectual provocation, is the Nazi-fascist concentration camp
mentality as an instigator of violence."
"Salo, a "Brechtian" film, a "critical" film, a ritualistic film, opens
with images of the Po countryside - the Nazi-fascists are rounding up
young people."
"The chronicle of human events suggests that during the Republic of
Salo, under the rule of the Nazis, such total and radical abuse of power
may have been carried out."
Siciliano goes on in this vein for several more pages.
--- Carlo Parcelli
At the time of the publcation of his biography on Pasolini, Siciliano
was an editor at Nuovi Argomenti "of which his friend Pasolini was a
founder."
Pound said out of Kung: "Have no twisty thoughts."
