Originally posted by Bosse de NageIt is actually a book by Marquis de Sade, which I can recommend as long as it's not for reading on the train in to work, there's only so much I can take of the heady mix of pornography and French political debate at that time in the morning.

Originally posted by Bosse de NageI've read about Salo before, I'd like to see it, but it was banned here on and off for years. I believe you can get it on VHS now, so maybe I shall see if Amazon have it.
That's why I prefer the film: Pasolini condenses the horror into the most harrowing but compelling 3 hours I've ever sat through. It's brilliant. At the end it's like you've had a genuine glimpse of hell.
