Salò: Fade to Black (2001)

*** (out of 4)

Mark Kermode hosts this twenty-three minute documentary that takes a look at the aftermath of SALO: THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM. We get an archival interview with Pier Paolo Pasolini as well as comments from Catherine Breillat, John Maybury and David Forgacs as they discuss the original impact of the picture as well as how it hasn't lost any of its power over the years. Fans of SALO will certainly enjoy this documentary. There's certainly nothing ground-breaking here but it is interesting to hear other's thoughts on the film, its subject matter and the message that the director was trying to send. We get clips from the movie as well as an idea of why the film has lasted as long as it has.
