This will be a screening of one of the most important movies from the Yugoslav Black Wave and the international breakthrough of Yugoslavian director Dusan Makavejev. A movie that could have only been made in this time and frankly only by this director. A mix of drama, documentary, social commentary, eroticism, politics, satire and so, so much more.
In a way it is an ode to the American psychologist Wilhelm Reich and his ideas on sexuality and sexual repression. But it is linked to the Yugoslavian reality at that time in a way that only Makavejev is able to, by adding another story of two women in Yugoslavia, one a nymphomaniac, the other a devout communist. As in most of his other work, the boundaries between documentary, drama and fantasy become blurry, but this is always accompanied with Makavejev’s typical black sense of humor and that kind of anarchistic “fuck you” attitude of the 70’s.
Truly, words can’t express the many levels that this movie conveys its message(s) to us, the audience. It’s one of those movies that even after seeing it many times, it will still leave you with new impressions and thoughts.
We will also screen the short movie Kolt 15 Gap before the main feature. This award winning film is actually a pseudo documentary following a Yugoslavian worker and portrays several aspects of his life, often in a comic way, filmed with a hand held camera, typical for the Yugoslav Black Wave.
This will be Lux Alterna’s first screening at Supermercator.
