I was far more unsettled by the abhorable film palette than anything else. All the browns and yellows and kind of vintage overexposure - it wasn't merely the artifact of that time and place in Italian cinema, even - to which these elements were quite common anyway - Pasolini did it all on purpose just to give unease to the on-screen horrors of psychosexual domination. He did it just to make me queasy.
Exactly like the story from which Salo is derived from, De Sade's 120 Days of Sodom of course, I find the director of the film to be more interesting than the film, itself, just as I find the man, De Sade, to be more interesting than his actual stories. They were both outrageous personalities, and each of them were interned in their own ways - their horrific byproducts being ways of practically vandalizing the prison bathroom walls. With their own feces.

The man himself was definitely a character. Gorged himself to obesity, gets imprisoned several times and often gets kicked out for trying to seduce his younger male prison mates

The Road is definately on my top ten movies. I can't beleive people don't like the movie because its so dark. This is as real as it gets in my opinion.
