The overwhelming sense you get out of this movie is that, for DeSade and perhaps Pasolini at least, life is cruel and heartless, and our ends are of no more significance than the bugs we squash beneath our feet. The victims in the movie are spiritually and emotionally crushed before physically destroyed, and it is all done with a complete lack of directorial editorializing. It is not nearly as gory or graphic as its reputation would have you believe, but it is FAR more depressing and disturbing than any other gory horror movie I have ever seen. It's the kind of movie that makes you wonder what's the point of even living. Is it worth seeing? I saw it because I'd heard so much about it and was curious, so, I guess on that basis alone, if it applies to you, I'd say go for it. But get some prozac ready. Warning: Salo contains EXPLICIT scenes of both teenage male and female sexual acts, including rape. And unlike American films, upon seeing them you will be pretty sure that these actors aren't twenty-something adults just pretending to be teens. That makes it all the more disturbing and, in my opinion, indecent. No wonder this movie was banned for so many years in almost every country on earth! Would you allow your 15 year old son or daughter to make a movie where a large portion of the screen time him/her was going to be naked and constantly getting raped on camera? Italian parents must be awfully liberal.
