Pasolini's spiritual testament (he was murdered a few days before the film's premiere) is based on a notorious episode of World War II when a short-lived Fascist republic was established in Northern Italy by right-wing fanatics. Banned in Italy after its release, then reauthorized after a public outcry, Salò is hailed today as a major work of art.
