This creepy film by Makavejev is arguably more eccentric and perverse than any film I have ever seen. But while it's easy to just make a cult film, "Sweet Movie" will captivate most of its audience with plenty of eye-boggling directorial gimmicks not found even in most cult films. And, best of all, it is an unprecedented experimental musical film, not exactly good for one's mental health, but brilliant as an artistic experience. But it is probably the highest level of film that the average parent would not want their children to see. There are numerous scenes that would be banned today, and many that offend. And the occasional inserts of brief, abominable footage from the old days almost have a narcotic effect on the film, transforming it from a Bizarro bad movie into a high-artistic drama.

It's more a Pink Flamingos than Salò for me. I need to watch it again (with sound and subtitles this time). EDIT: Second watched yesterday, with audio and subtitles for all parts, because the variety of language, whether spoken or sung, is as rich as the acid humorous passages/sketches in this film. When I say that for me it is closer to John Waters than Pier Paolo Pasolini, it would be in this present sense of "randomness" in the use of laughter in the most grotesque way possible - the so-called carnivalesque concept that Mikhail Bakhtin uses from his study of Rabelais' work (Gargantua and Pantagruel). There is the political side of Salò, but in the Italian production I didn't laugh as much as in Sweet Movie. It is funny and even cruel with the proximity to death in the Katyn camps, but at the end it leaves a bit of hope, with the children coming out of the plastic bags, being reborn.
