Brève description / annotation

"Pasolini's nostalgia for pre-industrial Italy did not sever him from the present. He looked upon the rise of consumerist society with painful clarity. It inspired him to make his final film, the most political of all, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. The radicalism of Salò is so extreme, it goes beyond cinema and verges upon contemporary art. More than a filmmaker, Pasolini was an experimenter, a creator of new forms-this undoubtedly explains why so many artists have paid homage to him, and continue to do so.» Guillaume de Sardes
