Talk Salo

When Spencer urges his unsuspecting friend, Aaron, to watch Salo, Pasolini's profoundly disturbing 1975 film, the horrifying experience rips into Aaron's sense of security and morality. Confused, betrayed, and disgusted, Aaron asks of his friend, "Why did you show that to me?" But Spencer's motives are much too complex for words.

Directed by Shawn Postoff, Talk Salo leans on a strong ensemble — Matt Sadowski-Austin, Moti Yona — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2002.
