– Salò is extremely violent and sexually explicit. No amount of subtitle quality changes that. The Indonesian censorship board (LSF) has banned it officially, so any "sub Indo" copy is an unofficial fansub.

For the uninitiated, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (Italian: Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma ) is not casual viewing. Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini and released in 1975, it transposes the Marquis de Sade’s 18th-century novel of torture, sexual violence, and degradation into fascist Italy in 1944. The result is a film that remains banned, censored, or heavily restricted in multiple countries—including Indonesia, where it exists only in underground or imported digital copies.

However, the phrasing “Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom sub Indo better” suggests you might be looking for a verdict on which version (e.g., subtitle quality, translation accuracy, or censorship level) is better for an Indonesian-speaking audience. Since there is no official competing version of Salò made in Indonesia, I will assume you want a solid article discussing the film’s challenging nature, the role of Indonesian subtitles in making it accessible, and how viewers can determine which subtitle release is “better.”
