Pasolini´s Salo

Loved Pier Paolos stuff (NZ at the time had very limited amounts of foreign films comming in.)
also enjoyed Luchino Viscontis work, that Death in Venice and the hauntingly beautiful Mahler Music impressed a young hidden gay youth of the time, especially the cool actor Dirk Bogarde
did not know at the time if i loved the youngster Tadzio, (i was a kid myself) or the older, ha

Personally dont like over analying the content of any Movie.
enjoyment & entertainment is what it was all about to me.
enz

have not seen Salo OP
 
i saw this film not too long ago and i just thought it was stupid!
there didn't seem to be a point or notice in it at all...
still, it was interesting in part, if only for contemplating about the mind that this shit came from and how it thought it was entertaining or artistic. then again, those thoughts lasted all of 3-5 seconds...
 
unfortunately the HUGE dicks in Salò are FAKE... u can see it clearly watching the blu-ray... the HD images reveals it all...lol.. also, u can see that all the well endowed guys have the 'same' pubic hair...and the penises colours are freak...

Btw the guy who fucks the bishop looks even cuter in HD... does anybody knows if he was an actor or a prostitute?
 
At least one act
Pasolini didn't use fake penises in his films. He never had to. Pasolini, himself, was famous for packing an abnormally large penis comparable to his father's. If you need to see how big that probably was, check out the 1978 biography on Pasolini that includes many family photos of his father standing knee deep along the ocean shore wearing the common one-piece-piece-covers-all bathing suit, covering everything from his elbows to his knees. The suit is wet. It's amazing Pasolini's dad's fat enormous tool doesn't stick completely out from under that tight knee-length suit.

Somewhere there are still copies available of nothing but photos of Pasolini and snippets of his writings. Many of the photos show Paolo nude. When soft he could tie it into a large a knot.
At least one actor has a fake penis because it has to be burnt for the film!

Salo is a very powerful, very disturbing film even today. Remains probably the best adaptation of the Marquis De Sade's writing. I went to see it at a Dublin arthouse cinema when I was eighteen after hearing all the controversy over it. Although I don't think it's close to it, the guys who made A Serbian Film could do a genuinely no holds barred De Sade film. Even Pasolini had to pull SOME of his punches...

I recently learned from the Wiki for Saló that Pasolini planned it as the first in his "Trilogy of Death" to counterpoint his luscious Trilogy of Life, the second would have been a historical biopic of Gilles De Rais, the occultist and child-killer (allegedly) who reportedly went mad after Joan of Arc's death. A pity he never lived to complete it.

Aha, looked it up. Apparently the third part might have been Porno-Theo-Colossal, scenes from the script were visualized in Abel Ferrara's Pasolini in 2014. Which also has some memorable gay, straight sex scenes.

Compiling my research books for the screenplays right now: Norman Mailer, Aleister Crowley, Georges Bataille, JK Huysmans and a sprig of HP Lovecraft.
 
Gideon Bachmann participated in the filming of the torture scenes of Saló and wrote a diary about what he saw. Among his entries was that the bodyguards' huge penises were fake and that the amateur actors joked about it a lot during breaks.

I assume they have clips or scenes based on this in the Pasolini film from 2014.

There is a 2006 italian documentary about the filming Saló: Pasolini prossimo nostro by Giuseppe Bertolucci. It presents the story of the birth of the entire film with many filming photos. In fact, among the DVD extras, the photo gallery contains filming photos of two lost scenes. (Some of the film reels of Saló were stolen in 1975, before the premiere. They were never recovered, Pasolini was forced to use sequences shot from other camera angles to make up for the loss. The scenes in which The Duke tortures the victims are completely lost.)
