the second the film started and the credits were SUNG i knew i was about to experience a masterpiece ! love when pasolini goes slapstick. feels like the perfect companion piece to the earth as seen from the moon, which is maybe my fav pasolini ever !

also this movie inspired achouba’s taghounja so we have pasolini to thank for that too

annual birthday rendez-vous at the cinémathèque!

my two fav facts about this film are :
the scene where one of the subs' penis is nailed to a board is NOT simulated !!
The clients (Ariane's slaves) are real Parisian masochists who PAID to be in the film lol

comrade lovers, for your health's sake, fuck freely !
