***Yes, the distinction is between Salo and the others is the palpability of the violence, the sensation that is, as you say, true. I sense that you may have a similar reasction to it that I do of combined repulsion with simultaneous admiration for the sheer skill of conveyance(?)

Yes, that's exactly it.

I have always had mixed feelings about Konchalovsky, as he was an official Party cinema man. Some of his films were simply puky. But he most definitely has talent.

I presume some of those older machnes can be purchased today perhaps even on ebay, but of course the prices would likely be high. I agree, it is amazing what could be done with them, and I strongly recommend the Lumiere to anyone interested in fine films - what a wealth of styles and expressive techniques, each one a small gem.
