Beschreibung

DVD. 116 Minutes, plus extras. Color, widescreen, NTSC. The notorious final film from Pier Paolo Pasolini, Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom has been called nauseating, shocking, depraved, pornographic . . . It s also a masterpiece. The controversial poet, novelist, and filmmaker s transposition of the Marquis de Sade s eighteenth-century opus of torture and degradation to Fascist Italy in 1944 remains one of the most passionately debated films of all time, a thought-provoking inquiry into the political, social, and sexual dynamics that define the world we live in. Starring: Paolo Bonacelli, Giorgio Cataldi, Uberto Paolo Quintavalle, Aldo Valletti, Caterina Boratto, Elsa De Giorgi, Hélène Surgère.Extras: "Salò": Yesterday and Today, a thirty-three-minute documentary featuring interviews with director Pier Paolo Pasolini, actor-filmmaker Jean-Claude Biette, and Pasolini friend Nineto Davoli. Fade to Black, a twenty-three-minute documentary featuring directors Bernardo Bertolucci, Catherine Breillat, and John Maybury, as well as scholar David Forgacs. The End of "Salò", a forty-minute documentary about the film s production. Video interviews with set designer Dante Ferretti and director and film scholar Jean-Pierre Gorin. Optional English-dubbed soundtrack. Theatrical trailer. Plus: Essays by Roberto Chiesi and Naomi Greene, and essays by Neil Bartlett, Breillat, Sam Rohdie, and Gary Indiana, and excerpts from Gideon Bachmann s on-set diary. Two DVDs in pubisher's folder with booklet, all housed in slipcase. Minor wear. Very good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 115475
