Salo Or — The 120 Days Sub Indo [better]

To watch Salo with Indonesian subtitles, you will need to find a video file of the film and the corresponding subtitle file. This is a two-step process.

The film is a loose adaptation of the infamous 1785 novel The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade, a French aristocrat whose name became the root for the word "sadism" due to his writings on sexual cruelty. Pasolini, however, did not simply adapt de Sade's story. He updated its setting to a real and brutal chapter of 20th-century history: the Republic of Salò (or Salò Republic) in northern Italy during the final years of World War II. This was a Nazi-backed puppet state led by the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini after he was deposed, a place where thousands of political prisoners were tortured, murdered, or mutilated.
