The Name of this Movie is Salo....

OR 120 Days of Sodom. The title alone would deter normal people from watching it. Not me. I found it on a list of the most disturbing films ever made, and I was immediately intrigued by the plot. For some reason, the movies on that list really made me want to watch them. To see if they truly are disturbing. I have been disappointed by some of the films on that list, but NOT this one. This was really one of the most horrifying, disgusting, weird, and (fittingly) disturbing movies I've ever seen. It was definitely hard to watch, and I will admit that I couldn't watch the last ten minutes. It is about this group of Nazis who kidnap 18 teenagers and basically torture them (for, I guess, 120 days). The things that happen after that are extremely bizarre. I feel uncomfortable even describing what goes on. It was hard to understand exactly what was going on. Not only was it in Italian, but the characters were so far out of the realm of anything I have ever seen before. It was hard to believe it. They were are disturbing. There is really no other word for it.
