"Abandon all hope, you who enter here"--Divine Comedy (1320) by Dante "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975) is set in the Republic of Salò, the fascist rump state which was set up in the German-occupied portion of Italy in 1944. The film is divided into four segments that loosely parallel Dante's Inferno: Anteinferno, the Circle of Manias, the Circle of Feces and the Circle of Blood."--Sholem Stein |
