The Night Porter
Why this pick
Like Pasolini’s film, it uses fascist power and sexual domination to create an icy, confrontational study of complicity rather than conventional exploitation.

The Conformist
Why this pick
A similarly elegant, corrosive Italian vision of fascism, where lavish formal beauty sharpens the moral emptiness, repression, and self-serving obedience beneath it.
03
The Damned
Why this pick
Its operatic decadence, aristocratic rot, and fascist ascendancy echo Salò’s fusion of political evil with ritualized humiliation and grotesque excess.
04
The Devils
Why this pick
A feverish historical nightmare of institutional cruelty and public spectacle, staged with the same appetite for blasphemous provocation and overwhelming visual excess.
05
In the Realm of the Senses
Why this pick
Ōshima shares Pasolini’s unsparing intellectual approach to transgression, treating sexuality, obsession, and power as destabilizing forces rather than safe erotic drama.
