Review of WR: Mysteries of the Organism (1971) by Leanne C — 02 Oct 2009
The film opens with a direct juxaposition of the subsequently varying threads of human sexual pleasure and 1970s politics in yugoslavia. there's some great subtle, tongue-in-cheek (and elsewhere) humour interspersed with documentation of the ex-communist new age orgasm doctor in america and the satire-theatre play of young, sexy, party-approved comrades in communist yugoslavia. the part I found weaker than the rest of the film was the wacky american hippie war protestor running around with his gun. at least he strokes it to a crazed, semi-violent militaristic salute-orgasm at the end of his scenes. added bonus: a penis plaster casting a la cynthia albritton. ever wonder about the diy logistics of plaster and pubic hair? shower curtains!
Delightful quotes:
"To die for love is dishonest, selfish, bourgeois. It's brutishly zoological.".
"Saliva is good.".
"Cancer and fascism are closely related.".
"In our sick society everyone is sick.".
