Salò: 120 Days of Sodom is a controversial film from the 70's written and directed by Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini and based on the book by the Marquis de Sade.
Because of its intensely graphic scenes of sex and violence, the movie was extremely controversial upon its release, and is mostly only available in heavily edited versions, remaining banned in several countries to this day.
Many saw it as Pasolini's attempt to expose the Secret Societies he was a member of and warn the world what would happen if they accepted a New World Order. Like Kubrick after his own expose 'Eyes Wide Shut', Pasolini was murdered shortly before the film was released.
Pier Paolo Pasolini (March 5, 1922 – November 2, 1975) was an Italian poet, intellectual, film director, and writer.

Highly controversial? Well I'm just going to have to check it out. Hopefully I can find a copy that isn't all "chopped" up.
