I guess with Sweet Movie Dusan Makavejev's bizarreness peaked and he decided to make something more straight forward. It is still by no means a regular movie, but there's weird and then there's "weirdest".
This one is like a feminist tract about a bored, rich housewife who leaves her snobbish husband and perfect kids to stay with some bohemian Serbs who run a debauched night club.
She has a fling with a young man, and yes, that does mean they have sex on a pile of food.
I think with his less bizarre, assaultively creative movies, Makavejev also became less interesting. His next one, The Coca Cola Kid, was a new peak in that direction. This one had some of the outrageousness and some of the mundane. It was an intriguing concoction, but not as successful as WR:Mysteries of the Organism.
