Description

Pushing his themes of sexual liberation to their boiling point, Yugoslavian art-house provocateur Dušan Makavejev followed his international sensation _WR: Mysteries of the Organism_ with this full-throated shriek in the face of bourgeois complacency and movie watching. _Sweet Movie_ tackles the limits of personal and political freedom with kaleidoscopic feverishness, shuttling viewers from a gynecological beauty pageant to a grotesque food orgy with scatological, taboo-shattering glee. With its lewd abandon and sketch-comedy perversity, _Sweet Movie_ became both a cult staple and exemplar of the envelope pushing of 1970s cinema.
