Review of Sweet Movie (1974) by Lee M — 28 Jul 2014

It's always nice to have a weird film ready when you are up for it.

This one is a silly piece that involves a whole lot of different stuff, often with a sexual undertone. It's R-rated, and after a while it turns pretty extreme. Somewhere in it it gradually turns nastier and nastier. I won't recommend eating while watching some of this stuff - your food might end up cold. That "Salo"-film is mentioned as a similiar film, that should explain a whole lot.

Anyhow, we meet a very pretty girl and a very cool boat. We get some very funny scenes, others seem hard to get - they are just scenes with few meanings for me.

Lots of singing and quite few words. Other scenes are very artistic and avant-guard like.

I like some ideas, I actually like a lot of this film - but in the end it was a bit too extreme for me in some ways. Maybe the most disturbing film I've seen.

6.5 out of 10 kilos of sugar.
