The Abyss of Power: An Analysis of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom
Based on the unfinished novel by the Marquis de Sade, Pasolini transposed the setting from 18th-century France to the final days of Mussolini’s fascist regime in the Republic of Salò. The film follows four wealthy and powerful libertines—the Duke, the Bishop, the Magistrate, and the President—who kidnap eighteen teenagers and subject them to four months of systematic physical, mental, and sexual torture. The narrative is structured into four circles, mirroring Dante’s Divine Comedy: the Circle of Manias, the Circle of Shit, and the Circle of Blood. This structure allows Pasolini to methodically deconstruct the mechanics of absolute power and the objectification of individuals under a totalitarian system.
