Dušan Makavejev - Sweet Movie

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.

Dušan Makavejev - WR: Mysteries Of The Organism

What does the energy harnessed through orgasm have to do with the state of Communist Yugoslavia circa 1971? Only counterculture filmmaker extraordinaire Duan Makavejev has the answers (or the questions). His surreal documentary-fiction collision WR: Mysteries Of The Organism begins as an investigation of the life and work of controversial psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and then explodes into a free-form narrative of a beautiful young Slavic girl's sexual liberation. Banned upon its release in the director's homeland, the art-house smash WR is both whimsical and bold in its blending of politics and sexuality.

陽炎座 Kagero-za (1981)

Based on a story by Kyoka Izumi - whose writings influenced a number of filmmakers - Kagero-za is another wildly inventive installment in the jump-cut, luridly hued, crazy-quilt pantheon of Seijun Sazuki.

The fever-dream follow-up to his acclaimed Zigeunerweisen, the enigmatically erotic Kagero-za is the second film in Suzuki's Taisho Trilogy. This time, the story is set in the disjointed cityscapes and surrounding countryside of 1926 Tokyo.

Playwright Matsuzaki (Yusaku Matsuda), who is supported by a wealthy patron, crosses paths with a beautiful woman on her way to a hospital. She tells him that a friend is dying, then implores Matsuzaki to accompany her because she is afraid of a mysterious older woman at the hospital who sells the fruit of the Chinese Lantern Plant, which is strangely rumored to actually be female souls. Matsuzaki at first refuses the beautiful woman's invitation, but later finds himself so obsessed with her - a luminous apparition - that he wants nothing more than a life of carnality and excessive passion. Matsuzaki eventually follows a trail of messages left by this phantasmal enchantress across the country to Kanazawa, only to realize that he is possibly being lured to his own demise.
