In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote 'Addio a Pier Paolo\u003cbr\u003ePasolini' (Goodbye to Pier Paolo Pasolini) for the late filmmaker, included in the final edit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the narrative of one of Pasolini's defining cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone's \"Son Tanto Triste\", descends into the\u003cbr\u003emelancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister renditions by the cast, and includes Morricone's own sombre tribute to the director.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisgusted by the flood of crass sexploitation movies which filled the space opened up by his \"Trilogy Of Life\", Pasolini turned to the most nihilistic thinker in\u003cbr\u003eEuropean history for what became his final film. His version of De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, amplified with motifs from Dante's Inferno, confronts the\u003cbr\u003eultimate implications of fascism in a series of sexual and moral atrocities. \"The only true anarchy is power\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe LP \/ CD will be released on Friday 13th February 2026, exactly 249 years since the Marquis de Sade was arrested and imprisoned in the dungeon of the\u003cbr\u003eVincennes fortress for charges of \"debauchery and immoderate libertinage\" that scandalised his contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003eWarning - graphic artwork (as to be expected).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cold Spring","offers":[{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":56185205129595,"sku":"JAR-07564","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/1416\/8247\/files\/3c5e424375d3f096671ec2b75c8c31c5.png?v=1775063427","url":"https:\/\/store.jacarandarecords.com\/products\/various-artists-salo-or-the-120-days-of-sodom","provider":"Jacaranda Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
