The background reading is Herbert Marcuse's Eros and Civilization, the Magna Charta of the 1968 student revolution in Paris. Marcuse considered sexual freedom as the precondition for building a (new) humane society. Vilgot Sjoman seems to disagree with Marcuse: sexuality itself is expressed in possessiveness which is in conflict with the social and political programme of the radical left. There is also a significant feminist element in the film.
It's an art film that makes one think. Don't try to watch it for entertainment, as there is none.
I first read about this movie in the '60s, and for years I have wondered why it was so controversial, whether it was it that explicit and basically what was all the fuss about?
I still don't know what the fuss was about. I can only assume that the version I bought on Amazon was not an uncut version because my advice to anyone thinking of buying it is - Save your money! Expectation soon gave way to total disappointment as another '60s erotic milestone was knocked over.
