German label Camera Obscura has revealed that it is preparing an exclusive new 4K restoration of Dušan Makavejev's absurdist film
Sweet Movie (1974), starring Pierre Clémenti, Sami Frey, John Vernon, Carole Laure, and Marpessa Dawn.
Sweet Movie will be released on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray early next year.
The label has confirmed that the upcoming releases will feature optional English and German subtitles.
Pushing his themes of sexual liberation to their boiling point, Yugoslavian art-house provocateur Dusan Makavejev followed his international sensation
WR: Mysteries of the Organism with this full-throated shriek in the face of bourgeois complacency and movie watching. Sweet Movie tackles the limits of personal and political freedom with kaleidoscopic feverishness, shuttling viewers from a gynecological beauty pageant to a grotesque food orgy with scatological, taboo-shattering glee. With its lewd abandon and sketch-comedy perversity,
Sweet Movie became both a cult staple and an exemplar of the envelope pushing of 1970s cinema.
