Plot
A harrowing, extremely controversial portrayal of fascist cruelty in the last days of the Second World War in Italy.
Sinekatalog’s take
Pasolini's final film is an extreme, deliberately repulsive allegory of fascist power. Widely considered one of the most disturbing films ever made, it is viewed more for its cultural notoriety than for enjoyment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
