action
One storyline follows Miss Monde 1984 / Miss Canada, which wins the prize for the “most virgin” participant. Her price is her marriage to a milk baron. With his humiliating, puritanical introduction to intercourse, she returns to her mother-in-law, who by that point almost killed her. The family bodyguard takes them away and puts them in a suitcase to Paris. She has sex with a South American singer, El Macho, on the Eiffel Tower. This act is interrupted by nuns. She then joins a community led by Otto Muehl . The community has rebirth experiences in which members cry, urinate, and defecate like babies while the others clean it up. She later does an advertisement in which she bathes herself naked in liquid chocolate.
The second storyline revolves around Anna Planeta driving a candy-filled boat in the canals of Amsterdam. The boat has a large head of Karl Marx on the bow . She takes the hitchhiking sailor Potemkin with her, although she warns him that if she falls in love with him, she will kill him. Anna kills him during intercourse. Anna also has children on board. She is later arrested by the police who confiscated the plastic bags containing body parts. In the end, the children are reborn out of these plastic bags.
criticism
"In an episode collage that explodes the forms of conventional narrative cinema, the Serb Dusan Makavejev attacks the worldwide suppression of sensuality in communist and capitalist social systems: a desolate, disrespectful, programmatically operated violation of taboos that both shock and amusement."
Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars out of four, noting, “The unanswered questions behind the film seem to be, 'Well, we're all human, aren't we? That's how we are and that's what we do. What do you think of these people? You go to the cinema to see films in which people kill each other, you watch wars on television - do the basic physical needs of these people offend you? '"
Trivia
The film shows excerpts from a film about the Katyn massacre , but the soundtrack is the song Τα παιδιά κάτω στον κάμπο by Manos Hadjidakis .
