Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini
Possibly the most notorious of all feature films, director Pier Paolo Pasolini’s final work comes by the distinction honestly, allegorically addressing the atrocities committed under Benito Mussolini. Set in Fascist-occupied Italy in 1944, the film concerns four libertine authorities who kidnap 18 young men and women for a slowly-unfolding ritual of sexual depravity and torture. Widely reviled, the film has also been praised as an uncompromising masterpiece.
