Overview
What does the energy harnessed through orgasm have to do with the state of communist Yugoslavia circa 1971? Only counterculture filmmaker extraordinaire Dušan Makavejev has the answers (or the questions). His surreal documentary-fiction collision begins as an investigation into the life and work of controversial psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and then explodes into a free-form narrative of a beautiful young Slavic girl’s sexual liberation.

Viewing Notes
A little avant-garde for my tastes but I really love the beginning sections specifically about Wilhelm Reich and the small town in which he lived. I appreciate what the film becomes but its lack of subtlety makes the 2nd half feel more monotonous than it really should or is.
