6. Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

One of the most reprehensible films in world cinematic history, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, sets boundaries related to representation and morality, creating a brutal satire of fascism and consumerism. In showing its public characters struggling with issues of power and sexual exploitation, the movie explores themes of power, corruption, and the degradation of human morality. The film is often seen as a testament to the human capacity for cruelty and an indictment of the abuse of power.
