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.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertAn ideological juggling act, with Makavejev at the center, deadpan, yet always with his eyes slightly widened at the bizarre variety of human experience.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Christopher NullMakavejev's defining work is one of eerily appropriate juxtapositions, fact and fiction, old footage and new
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrThe wittiest and possibly truest thing in it is an analysis of Stalinist propaganda films as displaced pornography.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's worth seeing because it gets one's juices flowing whether buying into the martyred Reich's theories or not.
New York Times - 0/10 by David BienstockIt is no wonder then that the film, which begins by proclaiming that life should be joyful, turns out to be one of the gloomiest of recent memory.
User Review - 10/10 by Clayton DMakavejev's extraordinary tour-de-force of socio-political mores, juxtaposed with Reichian themes and analysis of sexuality, make it one of the most unique film experience one is likely to have, and also one of the most incorporeal.
User Review - 10/10 by Mathieu CThis is really quite the film. It first deals with Wildelm Reich and his theories or orgasms. We learn right from the begining that he would die for these experiments before we are shown the experiments themselves. This film has many scenes that will shock people but the very fact that they are so shocked is what the film is making a point of.
User Review - 10/10 by Meg DI love the transition from the glowing/warping chandelier above Stalin's head (from Makavejev's "imrpoved" edited version) to the plaster of Paris penis-mold. I heard the director speak about making this movie in a half-empty auditorium at UC Berkeley. The audience had the typical Berkeley mix, middle-aged hippies looking to relive their glory days, hip nonchalant-looking college kids probably there on some film class assignment, and then me, a bright-eyed prospective Berkeley student with my unsuspecting mother. Makavejev explained that he had a lot of trouble with Tito during and after the production of this film, which makes me respect and admire him that much more. He was kicked out of the Yugoslav Communist Party after its release. Anyway, try watching this movie with your mom and telling her you liked it. I stumbled into this movie not knowing what to expect and walked out still not quite understanding it but feeling somewhat liberated and absolutely loving it.
User Review - 10/10 by Pavandeep SWow, I cannot believe a film like this was possible. I adore this film so much. I love the style it was done in. I love the split narrative, where the theme takes hold more than plot, the fascinating footages and the dialogue. A great film from a great director.
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew GFavorite movie of all time. Makaveyev is a brilliant, twisted man. If you like this, watch "Sweet Movie".
