I admit that I haven't bothered watching the whole film.
Surrealist films aren't my thing. As for Yugoslavia, I always considered TV
programs from that nation to be surprisingly lewd and over-sexed. And I grew up
in Sweden! Funny anecdote: Poul Fersling, who wrote an encyclopaedia of the
occult popular in Scandinavia, erroneously refers to “The Mysteries of the
Organism” as “The Mysteries of Orgasm”. Since Wilhelm Reich was a
psychoanalyst, I suppose we could call this “a Freudian slip”, lol. And then,
maybe not. I *have* seen selected footage from this movie. Yes, it features
Nazis, Communists and…well…liberated Yugoslav girls. Probably not your Adriatic
port of call if you're seriously interested in the mysteries of orgone. Two stars.
