Review of Sweet Movie (1974) by Mathieu C — 10 Jul 2007
Makavejev pushed things pretty far with WR: Mysteries of the Organism but here he pushes things so far that we wonder how far they can go. This film is easily one of the most shocking films ever made. It is about a beauty queen who marries a billionaire and gets dropped all the way to the bottom.
This is intercut with another woman who owns a boat and lures children and men in. Film makes statements on sexuality, innocence and how they all fit, or don't fit in the modern world. This film is essential viewing but keep in mind it is quite explicit.
