Which do I prefer? Well, they're very different films. One is an exploitation film, much misunderstood by non-genre lovers. The other is a political art film - much misunderstood by genre lovers.

The trouble with Salo, imo, is that most of the people who seem to watch it are gore hounds looking for the nastiness. This robs the film of the very reason it was created.

I think both are important films. I hate to quote a cliche, but they're chalk and cheese....
