Pier Paolo PASOLINI
Two great human beings were killed
just because they were kind and loved other people.
That were Jesus Christ and Pier Paolo Pasolini.

A note from the author of this page:
I've got sick and tired of reading how disgusting Salo is. I can understand some "common people" thinking this way. But isn't it really disgusting that those who claim to be critics or something try to sing the same song. Salo, in fact, is one of the most beautiful *pictures* I ever seen to which such masterpieces as "Prospero's Books" or "The Godfather" can only be compared. My first association with this movie is the fantastic appearance of that old woman with a big bow telling her story and colors, colors and more colors, the grand feast of colors and forms. What Pasolini created in this movie, as well as in any other, is the Art. It is like a three-dimensional painting, right on the air, captured by camera. That's what is really worth of discussion, I think. - Johnny The Flower
SO!
I'd like to announce a new thing I'd like to make.
It's going to be kind of a discussion club or
"Salo Salon".
Everyone who wants to say something just write me and I'll put
all your thoughts and ideas there. And all your ideas about
design ...and WHATEVER are also appreciated. Let's have fun.
By the way you already can find there an article contributed
by Jesse Merlin and called "The Semiotics of Death" as well as
links to reviews on the film.
