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.
