In cinematic terms, this means bombarding the audience with an onset of imagery so visceral, disgusting and repellent that it \"awakens\" the viewer in a Brechtian manner by \"short-circuiting\" the audience\'s reactions. Sweet Movie interweaves two narratives. One begins with a trip to the \"Miss World Virginity Contest,\" whose winner, Miss Monde 1984 (Carole Laure) is auctioned off to Mr. Kapital (Animal House\'s John Vernon), a Texas oil billionaire with an odd perversion. Instead of deflowering her on her wedding night, he sterilizes the terrified girl\'s body with rubbing alcohol and showers her in urine with his massive gold-plated penis, while an audience watches bemusedly through his bedroom window. She later escapes from her bridegroom, in a suitcase, and winds up at a wild Viennese commune whose participants indulge in public defecation and a food orgy that wraps with a massive display of gurgling, yakking, and vomiting. At the tale\'s conclusion, Miss Monde shoots a television commercial that involves writhing and masturbating in a giant vat of chocolate, with which she is completely drenched from head to toe, as the cameras roll. The second story involves a woman, Anna Planeta (Anna Prucnal) piloting a candy-filled boat down a river, with a massive papier-mache head of Lenin on the prow and a lover in-tow who is a refugee from the Battleship Potemkin. She eventually does a seductive striptease and seduces a pack of children, then makes love to her paramour in a vat of sugar and stabs him through the heart. Throughout the film, Makavejev includes shock cuts to Nazi autopsy footage and medical experimentation footage, some of which involves physical abuse of infants under the guise of \"baby gymnastics.\" Although it has its admirers, Sweet Movie is something of an acquired taste. And that\'s putting it kindly.

Thanks Kegir, sounds great? I don't know, but really interesting. =) Love your stuff!
You're incredible! I've been trying to track this down for a good long while now, with no luck. Thank you very, very much for this and everything else you post. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated. Cheers.
I've dowloaded it, but I get an error every time I try to open it, regardless of which media player I use. It is a movie I last saw over 20 years ago (it was one of my favourites). The soundtrack is fantastic.
I don't know what's wrong. Try http://www.k-litemegacodecpack.com/
So would i be right in thinking its in the 'Romantic Comedy' genre ?
