I put this on my Netflix queue right after watching The Damned, but I keep dropping it back down every time it surfaces. You really have to be in the right mood for Helmut Berger.

It seems that even on the History Channel they try to link Nazism and homosexuality - like the Roman soldiers - that it's somewhat of an honor to "be" with each other. It's kind of like you must be "perverted" in some sense to be a Nazi - and since homosexuality is also a taboo - it'd be easy to link the two. And the justification of the "purges" the Nazi's conducted was to get rid of the open homosexuality and put it back into the closet as it were.

Then again - you get ultra-conservative politicians here in the US who are on the morale high road and speak out against homosexuality - who end up being busted in gay sex scandals. So, there's several ways you can look at it to justify it "making sense" and there might be some truth to it.

I think I turned it off after the orgy at the beginning and just as a dwarf was mounting a lady - it was simply too much for me. And like I said - I was pretty restless...

Salon Kitty is very similar to Tinto Brass's later Caligula, with its linkage between sex and absolute power. And sex used as an assertion of power. Caligula is the better film.
