neither. both of them are highly artistic films with a message.
it is sad that people compare this to august underground and similar childish crap.
No, 'Salo' was an artistic film with a message, this is just a bunch of nasty *beep* that's there to be shocking. There's no message or deep meaning. There's no 'dark reflection of our modern society' or any of that pretentious *beep* This is just a couple of dickheads making a movie with the most *beep* up things they could think of in an attempt to be 'edgy' and 'shocking'.

ok, now you are just describing august underground and the similar.
like it or not, serbian film is not comparable. there is a sense to it. ironically it even has a somewhat related message to the one in salo.
Actually this was a message movie about war and a political statement about the Serbian government. Had it been a straight up film about fetishizing war heroes and corrupt government, no one outside of Serbia would have noticed. So using a snuff film as a metaphor, they got the point across and got noticed world wide. It was actually a clever move on their part.
shareSalo is without doubt the better film, artistically.
shareI think of myself as a very desensitized person, so it's hard to find a movie that I feel is genuinely messed up and leaves that kind of impression on me. That being said, I would say this one probably beats Salo.

salo was a snoozefest
shareI enjoyed both as artistic films, but would prefer Salo. A Serbian Film is supremely filmed in my opinion. Very slick, stylish and visually appealing. Salo was more realistic but the set pieces were gorgeous and stunningly beautiful throughout.
shareThis by far. Salo was nothing in comparison to this. I feel disgusting for even watching this movie. I was going through a "Must-See" movie list and this was on there. I regret watching it. I need to go look at kittens and cute stuff now, cause ugh...
shareThis. although this is obviously a lot more 'cartoony' and dressed up than Salo, Salo only really had one stand out scene for me - the tongue scene. Whilst this had many messed up scenes. Salo is very gritty and has a very 'real' feel to it, something that this obviously does not, so I wouldn't disregard someone for saying that Salo is more 'messed up' on that front.
shareThis. Salo was disappointing.
