W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism

W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism (Serbo-Croatian: W.R. - Misterije organizma, W.R. - Мистерије организма) is a 1971 film by Yugoslav director Dušan Makavejev that explores the relationship between communist politics and sexuality, as well as exploring the life and work of Wilhelm Reich.



Read this after watching the film, otherwise it's be a spoiler! (Text bellow is taken from wikipedia and it explains some of the ideas in the film)

 The film intercuts documentary footage with, predominantly, a narrative about a Yugoslav woman who seduces a Soviet ice skater. Despite different settings, characters and time periods, the different elements produce a single story of human sexuality and revolution through a montage effect. The main elements juxtaposed throughout the film are: Milena is a metaphor for the Yugoslavian working class's struggle for liberation against the totalising influence of the communist state. Milena is killed when her sexual encounter with Vladimir Illych (a reference to Lenin and the representative of communism) goes awry. He, unable to fully experience his orgasmic urge, beheads her with his skate which is the film's metaphor for revolutionary theory. Makavejev dooms self-determination of the Yugslav people, and the struggle of people worldwide for true freedom, to the fate of being totalised by state communism, and the quest for sexual freedom. The song that Vladimir sings in Russian after Milena's murder at the end of the movie is called "François Villon's Prayer" by Bulat Okudzhava.

El Topo (The Mole) is a 1970 Spanish language allegorical, cult western movie and underground film, directed by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky. Characterized by its bizarre characters and occurrences, use of maimed and dwarf performers, and heavy doses of Christian symbolism and Eastern philosophy, the film is about the eponymous character - a violent, black-clad gunfighter - and his quest for enlightenment.
