Il Laboratorio dell'Inferno di Salò

“I fell in love with this script right at the moment when I thought about transposing the film to the Repubblica di Salò. […] It was the creative idea behind the film. […] A type of Nazifascist choreography appeared, completely dreamlike in as much as there is no Roman greeting, there is nobody standing to attention, no portrait of Mussolini, nothing is ever mentioned, apart from the word ‘Salò’ and the word ‘Marzabotto’, two names. […] This is not a didactic film. Those who want to understand, understand; those have an ear for meaning, get the meaning. In reality, this film presents itself as a visionary film”.
