Cinema Atlas Connection
I remember when I saw Pasolini’s Salò it was probably my favorite film for about a year. It’s hard to watch but it’s just so beautiful. It’s about a very particular darkness in the soul that I appreciate. The way that he was able to capture that and the perversity of that was pretty masterful. I love that movie.
