Publisher's Synopsis
Set during the time of Mussolini, Pier Paolo Pasolini's adaptation of the Marquis de Sade's '120 Days of Sodom' concerns the adventures of four high-ranking fascist officials - a duke, a bishop, a banker and a judge - who lock themselves away in a palace with a retinue of servants and sixteen kidnapped teenagers, both male and female. They systematically torture and abuse the teenagers in a series of sadistic tableux involving coprophilia, necrophilia and murder. Banned all over the world on its initial release, this was Pasolini's final film.
