During work hours, Tetsuya Asakura is a humble company employee, but outside of work, he’s a full-fledged adventurer who’s an expert at fighting and handling weapons. Robbing a cash-in-transit driver of 100 million yen; swindling the yakuza; blackmailing board members to his advantage—he can handle it all. But with a lifestyle like that, having a condition like hemophilia is doubly dangerous.

In his film adaptation of the Marquis de Sade’s novel, Pasolini transposes the action to 1944–45, to the fascist “Republic of Salò” in northern Italy, where a group of high-society figures led by a prince humiliates, mocks, torments, and tortures young men and women gathered to satisfy the perverted elite, who sense their own impending doom. This ordeal lasts four months. For the adults, it is a final opportunity to satisfy their base instincts; for the young people, it is retribution for their youth and their desire to live.
