Sweet Movie (1974)
7/10
Don't worry; no spoilers or soilers
11 September 2008
Forgive the title. I saw someone had a similar title for their review and I thought it was hilarious. I really don't think spoilers are relevant in a film like this...

I never became sexually aroused while watching this film.

I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing....

Furthermore, I was neither disturbed nor disgusted, which also makes me wonder whether I've seen too many things in my life that I shouldn't have. I think I grasp the director's intended message and that which other reviewers here are trying to express, but I rather wonder when it's all said done what it was all for. Now I've seen someone defecate on camera. (actually, I had already seen someone defecate on camera prior to watching this film- maybe that's why I found it rather anti-climactic)

I think this film may have been much more relevant when it was made, but today it's little more than a curious relic.

All in all, it's an interesting art flick. Finish any meals before watching.

A great primer for Salo.
