it had none. It was a cheap rehash of "120 Days of Sodom". There was nothing to gain from seeing it. Artistic? Whoever made up all the poo-poo did a great job. I guess that was artistic, FX.The beauty of criticism is that it is ALL opinion. My opinion is no more valuable than yours.
There are NO artistic experts beyond appraisal and history. All the rest of art is what each individual feels or thinks about a work. Only the creator of that art truly knows.
I may just go rent Salo again (if it hasn't been decommisioned). What is an earlier work of his for me to draw comparison--Canterbury Tales or such?

Well, it IS your opinion, of course, so we have just exchanged ours.If you want to study his art (I am intentionally using this word here), then the usual suspects like the Decameron, Arabian Nights, Medea and Canterbury Tales are all fine and important.
But I would also add one that I find rather unusual - Comizi d'amore (Love Meetings) - a documentary about love. I thought it was extremely artistic and interesting. I would probably skip the Theorema.
