Resumen de Una irremediable inocencia: A propósito de Salò
In Salò, Pasolini assimilates the de Sadian reference of 120 Days of Sodom with the historical paradigm of the last months of fascism in Italy. While faithfully reproducing de Sade’s text, Pasolini not only nullifies it, but in addition fails to satisfactorily resolve the metamorphosis of torturer-tortured into fascist rulers-people under fascist rule. Salò also suffers from the moral stance the director takes toward the contradictions of that hisabstract toric point in time.
