I've finished

The limitation of love is that

you need an accomplice

Your friend will know the

libertine's refinement...

...is being executioner and victim

My sister knew an official

in the Controller's office

A little pig-like man,

with a disgusting face

A chamberpot was arranged...

...for two to sit on, back to back,

and relieve themselves simultaneously

He stirred it with his fingers,

and swallowed it

My sister told me...

...he'd only to see her dirty arse

and he ejaculated

Did your sister have a

pretty backside?

You must judge by this.

A famous painter...

...was commissioned to paint a Venus

with a splendid backside

He selected her as his model

after many weeks...

...looking at hundreds of behinds

throughout ltaly

How old was she then?

Fifteen, Duke

Why don't you arrange a competition

to find the nicest bottom here?

I'll do that. I'm an expert

Your Excellency, doesn't this

situation suggest anything to you?

It might

-Aren't you ready?

-Just a moment

The act of the sodomite signifies

the death of the human species

Ambiguously accepting social

standards while transgressing them

More monstrous than the act

of the sodomite...

...is the act of the executioner

True, but the act of the sodomite

can be repeated again and again

I think there is a way to repeat

the act of the executioner

Turn off the lights

Here is my masterpiece

I have a proposal to make

We have not yet decided on

the winner's prize...

...for the best bottom

Here is my proposal

He or she whose bottom is

judged the best...

...will be killed immediately

Agreed

This way we'll be impartial, not

knowing whose bottom we are viewing

-A shrewd observation

-Thank you, Your Excellency

For if we knew we were looking at

a boy rather than a girl...

...we might be influenced

in making our decision

We must be completely

free in our choice

A clever trap I wish to avoid

When one prefers men, it is difficult

to change one's perspective

The difference between a boy and

a girl is enormous

One cannot consider what is

obviously inferior

But if we consider all the

stories we have heard...

...in certain cases a girl might be

preferable to a boy

Let us try to remain objective

Look at the elasticity of

those buttocks

There can be no question here

Allow me, Duke

I don't wish to contradict, but may I

re-examine a most impressive one?

We'll be delighted to grant

your request

I don't think the heaviness of

these buttocks...

...can be compared to the most

beautiful we have here

However, I will yield to the

opinion of the majority

I vote for the Duke's candidate

My vote goes to the Duke's

candidate

Dear President, three votes to one

I bow to the majority

But I request that my candidate

be reserved for me to deflower

Granted

We'll reveal this mystery

Fire!

You must be stupid to think that

death would be so easy

Don't you know we intend to kill you

a thousand times?

To the end of eternity, if eternity

can have an end

Once I had a very mysterious client

His mania was closely related to...

...the subject of Signora Castelli's

stories, for which I apologize

The man wanted only women...

...who had been condemned to death

The closer they were to death,

the more he would pay

He would visit them when the

sentence had been pronounced

Thanks to his exalted social status,

enabling him to pay the price...

...not a single one escaped him

He did not possess them casually

He insisted on inspecting their rumps

and that they defecated before him

He was convinced that the

tastiest faeces...

...were those of women who had just

heard the sentence of death

CIRCLE OF BLOOD:

Your Reverence, I am ready

We want a marvellous wedding

The President wishes to be first,

he is the most randy

You whoresons!

What is this, a mortuary?

These parasites do nothing

for this festive day

Do anything you like.

Laugh, all of you

Go on, idiots, show how happy

you are

Go on, laugh

Why aren't you yelling forjoy?

Go on, sing!

You two, what are you doing?

Excellency, note their names

If you like to whimper, we'll make

you, for your last few days

Shouldn't you have paid your bills,

Monsieur Royale?

Of course, Monsieur Juju

Shouldn't you also pay mine?

Why so?

Because two and two make four

and I'm broke

Earn some money

-How do I do that?

-Through manual labour

I don't know how

Then become an actor

That's difficult

Try to write then;

all you have to write...

...is any old thing

Are you crazy?

I have a duty to perform;

I'll return later

Your friend here is ready

whenever you are

-Please, may I speak to you?

-Of course, my dear

What will you do to me?

Talk about that tomorrow;

many things will be decided then

I know a secret. Someone is

violating your law

Graziella had a photograph

under her pillow

Give me that photograph

Spare me and I'll tell you

what Eva and Antoniska do

They're breaking your laws

Don't kill me. I have secrets

to tell you

Speak, dirty whore!

Every night Ezio goes to the

black servant girl

I can take you there

Queers!

You make me puke

Those who are named will wear

a sky blue ribbon

You can imagine what that means

Others, if they collaborate, are

reprieved. They will return to Salo

What are you going to do to us?

You'll soon know the gravity

of your crimes

The main character...

...figured in a number of

the previous stories

He is forty, very powerfully built...

...with a member like a stallion

He is enormously rich,

very powerful, very cruel

A heart of stone

He owns a house near Milan, which

he uses exclusively for his pleasure

At his parties, at least fifteen

young girls are present...

...aged from fifteen to seventeen

Those who are chosen must present

themsleves completely naked

He touches them, caresses them,

examines them...

...then makes them defecate into his

mouth, but he does not swallow it

After these first rituals,

with fearsome gravity...

...he brands each girl

on the shoulder...

...burning a number into

their tender flesh

After these preliminaries,

he opens the window...

...and places a girl standing in the

middle of the room, facing the window

Then gives such a powerful kick

to her behind...

...that the poor thing flies across

the room...

...through the window and vanishes

into a dark cellar

Our hero is familiar not only with

Nietzsche, but Huysmans as well

In the cellar, a masked executioner

with the devil's emblems...

...presides gravely over the

horrible machines

When all the girls are in

the cellar, our hero...

...is highly aroused, having so many

contacts without once ejaculating

Naked, his huge member jutting

from his belly

Now all the machines have begun

to function...

...all tortures at once, with

terrifyingly loud screeching

The first apparatus is a huge wheel

with razor blades...

...to which is bound a girl

to be flayed alive

Another has a live rat sewed

inside her vagina

Oh Lord, why hast thou foresaken us?

Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pier Paolo Pasolini (Italian: [ˈpjɛr ˈpaːolo pazoˈliːni]; 5 March 1922 – 2 November 1975) was an Italian film director, poet, writer, and intellectual. Pasolini also distinguished himself as an actor, journalist, novelist, playwright, and political figure. He remains a controversial personality in Italy due to his blunt style and the focus of some of his works on taboo sexual matters, but he is an established major figure in European literature and cinematic arts. His murder prompted an outcry in Italy and its circumstances continue to be a matter of heated debate. more…
