At the age of 24, I saw on three consecutive days Alejandro Jodorowsky's Santa Sangre, Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò, and Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.

Curiously, of the three, Santa Sangre lingers the most in my memory. In contrast, I hardly remember A Clockwork Orange. However, Salò remains the most profoundly disturbing movie I have ever watched.

‘You have to be ready to see it’: Abel Ferrara and Catherine Breillat on why Pasolini’s Salò is a gift that keeps giving

Pier Paolo Pasolini’s notorious film is now 50 years old, and its cavalcade of shocking cruelty and violence still leaves a stark impact on its viewers. Film-makers explain why Pasolini ‘was a saint to us’

My ★★★★ review of Santa Sangre on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/3dskKb

SANTA SANGRE (1989)
Uno dei capolavori di #AlejandroJodorowsky. L'idea del soggetto nacque da #RobertoLeoni mentre lavorava in un biblioteca di un ospedale psichiatrico e studiava casi sul disturbo dissociativo di identità, così propose l'idea al produttore #CarloArgento, che l'apprezzò subito e aggiunse anche qualcosa alla storia.
