Passolini's earlier works are clearly better though I would need a refresher for a final judgement today. People get distracted by the strong sexual content in the later films. I generally don't find consentual same-sex or any sex acts for that matter offensive, or even discomforting, and therefore found some boredom in his later works. I would agree with those that find more of the ultimate gross-out in 'Salo' than art. BTW he was another tragicly murdered gay artist (sort of like Col. Hogan :).
If you ever had a friend who was a victim of incest you would understand that '301/302' is simply one of the most powerful, beautiful, and frightening films ever on the subject. It is worth a dozen PBS documentaries.

I meant that I buy the cuisine movies ..... more.. Ran 19:53:51 10/03/00 (0)
oh, i dont think i said that i find anything disturbing. Frankly I dont find anything in MOVIES disturbing. And I thought 301/302 was good and bought it because it is part of my cuisine/food collection of art movies which I like. I think of expression in art especially in the most liberal way possible. Just a question of what movies I want to see repeatedly versus what I want to see by renting. I generally get the cuisine movies for keeps since it is part of my collection. Now if a cuisine movie has R, x or whatever rating, I still just buy it. But another kind of movie I may not. So my decision was more related to genre.
