But this film aims elsewhere, and I myself feel grateful to its director, scriptwriter (and, why not, actress) for taking the plunge, and re-floating Pasolini's 'Salò' in a more digestible (maybe more intelligent?) guise. Of course the world is full of wonderful, hearty, passionate and generous people. Maybe we are victims of our society, of our times. Behind the veneer are MANY hidden truths.( Behind the Twin Towers, behind the choice of a black president after a guy like Bush jr.) Separation from the truth. This is also a 'clue' that MAYBE there is more to this film than meets the eye. We are watching crude realities, but also dreams, symbols, Freudian/Jungian fetishes. Most of the critics of this film seem to dwell on complaining that "our world is not like that! All the people here are horrible.!!!" Of course they are missing the point. separating the body from the heart, the soul, the mind. Rich old men who spend their money on flesh.
