TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
cyberjoshy-49579 Disgusting and boring. Seriously dont be curious like i was, just dont watch this.
jessicacoco2005 This film is a metaphor on Capitalism and Fascism. Four members of the ruling elite that represent both the government & church officials rule a château, where kidnapped young men and women are grotesquely exploited to provide degenerate, masochist entertainment for this ruling elite. Capitalism is projected as a degenerate system of arbitrary law. In the Capitalist world only those of the lower classes that completely obey its irrational and arbitrary rules survive.The film is based upon the Marquis De Sade's novel, Salo. However, the ending of this film ends differently. In De Sade's novel, which I believe is important to state and doesn't give away the film's ending, but gives further thought to the film: The ruling elite are asked by a spectator why they acted as they did? Their response: By perpetuating unjust and cruel misery they were just reproducing God's rule on earth in their confines. After all, what is characteristic of the world is, but that it is full of unjust, immoral suffering. Please note, the film is extremely degenerate, graphic and revolting. It is not for the faint-hearted.
kaameshsingam I don't know why I picked this movie. First I found Marquis Sade in the internet, and then his novel 120 days of Sodom. Intrigued by the name Sadism, I wondered what the novel really consisted of. I read the summary in Wikipedia. Damn! Then I found out that someone made a movie out of it. Then I found this. Just out of curiosity, I read a review of this film in IMDb: He (she?) gave a score of 7 or 8 and wrote that this movie depicted the dark side of humanity and that it was sick. An art film, it was supposed to be. Fine, then! I finally brought myself to watch it. (By the way, I had happened to find that Simone de Beauvoir wrote an essay on this book: Must we burn Sade? In the essay, she had defended Sade, I think. This had intrigued my curiosity further.) I started watching the movie. Halfway through the movie, I regretted my decision to watch it, but I finished the movie all the same. Because I wanted to know the dark side of humanity; and I did know it through someone's so-called art. All hail my curiosity. Damn! The movie was disgusting and repugnant. But, hey, the director succeeded in his job. He wanted to disgust us and he succeeded. I should like to read Sade's book, if I ever get the time and chance. Wait. Am I praising the movie or condemning it? I don't know! I don't know how to respond to this movie! I don't know if 1 star out of 10 is the right score. If you want to watch the movie, do so at your peril!
Kimberly Thompson This movie is about a group of children who attend a boarding school. Each day the children all sit around and listen to their headmistress, Madam Salo, tell stories of her childhood days, growing up in an orphanage and what it was like as a teenager during World War 2. The film is shot beautifully, and gives an authentic 1980s feel. Would recommend this movie to a high school student studying German history at school, or a history buff who is looking for an insight into the lives of young people during WW2.
