W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism - Dusan Makavejev (1971) Thimdbci6

Quote :: A dense film that cuts up footage of a primary plot of two young Yugoslavian girls, one a politico and the other a sexpot, and an affair with a visiting Russian skater. Mixing metaphors of Russia's relationship with Yugoslavia, intercut with footage and interviews with Wilhelm Reich and Al Goldstein of Screw magazine. The film applies Reich's theories of Orgone energy and analogies of Stalinism as a form of Freudian sexual repression. Also known as W.R. The Mysteries of the Organism in English subtitled version. Was banned in Yugoslavia shortly after it was made

Funny and weird Very Happy

Lots of metaphores, lots of sex, placed in context, I can understand why this movie was very shocking at the time. A call for sexual freedom and revolution Very Happy

Warning: quite complex and requires a bit of concentration
