Die 120 Tage von Sodom (1975)

Bemerkungen:

Digipack im Schuber

Die EAN scheint nicht vergeben, steht aber so auf der Rückseite.

Es fehlt folgendes:

DVDBeaver:
The Criterion Blu-ray is still without the 25-second sequence at roughly 42-minutes into the film during the first wedding ceremony, where one of the masters quotes a poem by Gottfried Benn.

DVDTalk:
During the first wedding ritual the libertines abruptly kick the naked victim-witnesses out of the marriage hall. In the Criterion disc the young people barely settle on the stairs before we cut back to the ceremony. Reader Robert Monell has sent Savant a frame grab from a European DVD that shows a libertine lecturing the victims on the stairs, before locking the doors. In the Criterion version, the speech is not there; the view returns to the inside of the hall to show the libertine locking the stairwell door.

I thought it might have been possible that this is the same kind of encoding error that occurred on another Criterion disc a couple of years ago, where the full scene was on the disc, but with the chapter marks were improperly set so that playback skipped part of the encoded chapter. Evidently this is the entire version of Salò held by MGM, and the longest available for disc. The same sort of "now you see it, now you don't" missing and alternate scene situations occur frequently on the spaghetti westerns produced by Alberto Grimaldi. No two countries seemed to be given the exact same edited versions.
