Salo Or The 120 Days Of Sodom (1975)

Set in the Nazi-controlled northern Italian state of Salo in 1944 four dignitaries round up sixteen perfect specimens of youth and take them together with guards servants and studs to a palace near Marzabotto. In addition there are four middle-aged women: three of whom recoun t arousing stories whilst the fourth accompanies on the piano. The story is largely taken up with their recounting the stories of Dante and De Sade: the Circle of Manias the Circle of Shit and the Circle of Blood. Following this the youths are executed whilst each libertine takes his turn as voyeur.
