“All will be permitted.” – Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom

Opening at IFC Center on May 8, BLUE FILM is a searing, taboo-busting work that IndieWire calls “one of the most daring American films of recent vintage.” Join us at IFC Center this spring for a midnights series highlighting four very provocative films guaranteed to challenge even the most hardened Waverly Midnights moviegoer. Featuring the shocking Spanish drama IN A GLASS CAGE, Michael Haneke’s early provocation BENNY’S VIDEO, the outrageous “socio-erotic comedy” SWEET MOVIE, and Pier Paolo Pasolini’s explosive, unsurpassed SALO, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM, this series celebrates the essence of the midnight movie, and those brave enough to experience it.
