    How can you pretend not to appreciate others?

      It had more of a humiliating impact than Salo could ever muster.

• Hardly. He did have incredibly beautiful works as well as atrocious ones, like Fellini. - tinear 21:14:42 12/06/08 (3)

  Try his "Gospel According to St. Matthew." Or "Accatone." Or "Mamma Roma." "Oedipus."
  Few directors have been able to match him, when he was at his best.

    I would choose now his best as Accatone.
    Now.

      a petty criminal told in almost documentary fashion.
      Or of the tough as nails whore, "Mamma Rosa," whose story has no sentimentality or sensationalism, just humanism.
      I like his treatment, also, of the Greeks, "Medea," and "Oedipus." The latter, especially, is terrific with unforgettable cinematography.
      Without a doubt, you'd also be amazed at his, "St. Matthew," easily the best depiction of Christ ever attempted on film.
