Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom/YMMV


 * Critical Dissonance: To the average viewer, Salò is a disgusting film, if they have heard or seen it. But for those who avert Small Reference Pools and recognize the Genius Bonus, this is either a searing, powerful work of art about violence and power... or still pointlessly disgusting.
 * Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy
 * Ho Yay: The four libertines and some of the male victims and guards.
 * Les Yay: Two of the girls.
 * Nausea Fuel: Goddamn everything.
 * Squick: The scene.
 * Tear Jerker: The entire situation in respect to the teenagers, really, but a special mention goes to the blonde girl whose mother was murdered while trying to save her.
 * Vindicated by History: For many artists and critics, Salò is one of the bravest, most powerful works of art ever made and it has featured in lists like Village Voice's 100 Films of the 20th Century and is admired by the likes of Martin Scorsese, Michael Haneke and Roger Ebert.
