"Questa merda mi travolge!"
One of the most brilliantly subversive films I've ever seen.
Don't watch this movie while you're hungry... or full.
"To go to the cinema is like to eat or shit, it's a physiological act, it's urban guerrilla ... Enough with feelings, I want to make a physiological film." ~ Marco Ferreri
Si bien toda la algarabía causada por esta cinta en su debut (hace mas de 30 años)… que es simplemente depravada, de mal gusto y enferma… se han perdido con el paso del tiempo – que podemos esperar en una época que videos como 2 girls and 1 cup o 2 girls and 1 finger son el pan de cada día – lo que aporta para estos tiempos actuales es un momento de total y “fino” entretenimiento (en lo que cabe), si lo comparamos con cada pendejada vulgar que se estrena semanalmente en los multiplex de hoy en día.
O filme causou furor nos 70's, mas hoje, depois de tanta 'farra alimentar' nas telas, enquadra-se na categoria 'filmes de congestão'. Nessa linhagem, por ex, está o soturno Greenaway de "O cozinheiro, o ladrão, sua mulher e o amante" (89) e o bonito "A festa de Babette" (87). Comer até morrer é o mote de 4 amigos trancados em uma mansão - um retrato 3x4 de uma burguesia européia decadente. Um lanche cai bem depois!
Romance in the highest degree
"The Discreet Charm of Salo" :))
It's the Marquis de Sade played for laughs. If that whets your appetite then you are in for a treat. I adore this film for all its unbridled, lubricious, orgiastic revelry that hides a darkly satirical heart - just like the obscene pate creation by which one of the cast finds his nirvana, this film is one to be devoured until you are full to bursting. And then devoured some more!
I remember seeing this movie when I was 8 or 9 years old, it is still as impressive as it was then, but I like to think I understand it better now
This film made me want to throw up more than any gory slasher film I've seen. I couldn't eat for quite a while afterwards...
Cinema's equivalent to "Cena Trimalchionis". A mind-blowing experience... what a great picture!
