CGiii Comment
Don't expect too much...then, you won't be disappointed.
Don't expect too much behind-the-camera footage...there is very little.
What you do get is...a mountain of stills from Salò and the odd head shot of the director.
All this is accompanied with a dodgy soundtrack of Pasolini philosophising and politicising...if you believe that Pasolini had anything important to say before his murder...then, here it is.
Otherwise...and, in reality...it's a shabby attempt to make money out of a dead director.

We are on the set of "Salò or the 120 days of Sodom". Pasolini lets a small camera team led by the journalist Gideon Bachmann follow him around engaging him in a long and extraordinary interview/conversation. The interview turns into a long, clear-sighted and violent attack on society that accompanies photos of the set in a surprising juxtaposition of film and reality, revealing Pasolini's metaphorical portrait of modernity.
