In this episode of Disturbing Reel, we sit down for a calm examination of Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975).

Rather than focusing on shock or spectacle, this discussion explores something more structural: what happens when power no longer seeks moral permission to operate.

No monsters.

No chaos.

Just authority functioning without accountability.

This isn’t a reaction.

It’s an analysis of systems, and why their endurance is more disturbing than their violence.
