The Will To Provoke.

I think Pasolini does two things to make "Salo" the king of repulsive cinema. First, he selects images which are fundamentally repulsive and painful to watch (every child can tell you that you don't eat doo doo, you don't cut out your tongue, and you don't use a dagger to remove an eyeball), like Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou." Second, he shows us beings who are no longer human, degrading fascists who draw pleasure from witnessing and committing these despicable acts against the young and innocent.

There are probably other ways in which it yanks viewers' cranks. Why not rent it for your mother-in-law and get her opinion?
