Agreed, One must be prepared.

Pasolini can be strong stuff and Salo in particular is very hard for me to watch even now. I haven't seen it in several years, and I'm not sure how eager I am to see it again soon - although I *will* see it again, especially with the new Criterion out.

Salo is best approached after reading about it from a film history perspective. This is a movie that really does need a guide and context for many viewers. It's a masterpiece, one of the strongest condemntions ever made of fascism, but it's not for casual watching. I understand why many people are unwilling to even try.

Below is one of the most detailed analysis I've ever read about it - there's also quite a bit about Pasolini's other films on this site, Jim's Reviews.
