Sweet Movie : What's worse? Salo or This?

What's worse? Salo or This?

And why?

I love Salo` very much so.
I've heard this is more disturbing and has no important message to it at all unlike Salo`. What makes it worse, or what doesn't?

Sweet Movie has a sense of humour. Salo is pretty void of humour.

The s*** eating scenes in Salo are fake. The infamous "meal" scene in Sweet Movie are pretty much all real.

I like to think the 2 films are cousins.

Re: What's worse? Salo or This?

It depends what you mean by worse...If you are talkin' just a totally crap film, then Sweet Movie is worse. Can't remember the last time I had to FF a film, as I did multiple times during my viewing. It was so incredibly boring.

Salo, at least held my interest.

Re: What's worse? Salo or This?

I'd say 'Salo.' Its such a bleak, disturbing, hopeless film. 'Sweet Movie' is just bizarre and gross.

4 words, everybody...

"Two Girls, One Cup"

I think that's about as low as mankind has sunk on film.

Well Salo is about sad and disturbing things

such as torture and killing of innocent people. This movie is about people having sex, drinking, doing drugs and eating poo while having a good time doing it. Which is more disturbing - is that even a question?

Which is a better film - Saló is actually a very good film making and a good movie. Sweet movie had two funny scenes in it and a good song - that´s the only good thing about it - not entertaining.

Salo is a work of art -- an act of pure nihilism. Sweet Movie is just nonsense. It attempts to present itself as some kind of satire, using incredibly juvenile and obvious juxtapositions, but it's just vile for the sake of being vile. An Incredibly disappointing outing from a director who had previously made such unique and excellent films like Man Is Not a Bird and Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator.

Re: What's worse? Salo or This?

They're both pretty bad but I'd say this is worse.

Why? Because this is a load of depraved filth that aspires to be some kind of metaphorical exploration of the excesses communism and capitalism but is just tedious and dragged down by its own pretensions.

Salo is a load of depraved filth that knows what it is and isn't about anything more than exploring its own degradation, perversions and obscenity.

Like I said I don't really like either but Salo is more honest about itself.

Re: What's worse? Salo or This?

Depends on how you define worse.

If we go by "That strnage feeling you get watching this type of stuff" then Salo was definatelly more of that for me. However Salo was one of the first movies like this for me so i may be biased here. I was told Salo was "The sickest one ever" and naturally i was interested. While definatelly way above standard cinema in these terms... i wanted... something more. Nekromantik had that, but it suffered greatly from horendeous production quality and lack of direction.
