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.
