Sweet Movie 4K Blu-ray

Transgressive Visions, a new partner label of Camera Obscura, will release on 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray Dušan Makavejev's absurdist film Sweet Movie (1974), starring Pierre Clémenti, Sami Frey, John Vernon, Carole Laure, and Marpessa Dawn. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on June 20.

Description: 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.
