Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

BohemianBlu Pearls?: Nursery rhymes (sound track lyric) are templates for future behaviors. Pigs?: Read this review to decide for yourself if hogs look better with ear-rings and lipstick. Montenegro: I have yet to read Rex Stout's prewar novel Over My Dead Body and the novel which followed when Tito came on stage, The Black Mountain. Anyone interested in how to fight society's anti-libido, control freak, exploitive mindset which Makavejev describes quite well in several of his works, may want to consider how humor, as he points out in interviews and with this film, succeeds in doing so. Reading Listen Little Man and Character Analysis by Wilhelm Reich or Charles Konia's The Emotional Plague may open a heart or two to better appreciate Makavejev's subtle contrasts. Nobel Prize receiver, Doris Lessing's 1971 Briefing for a Descent into Hell shares a similar Balkan story about making choices shortly before punk rock lyrics hit the scene to remind us of what we look like from our mirrors' lighter, more honest side. Marianne Faithful's ballad for "Lucy Jordan" found love hidden between the lines in this story's corners.

[email protected] This film has it all. Great acting.Great script.The story is quirky and pulls you in.The mixture of "conventional Sweden", the ex-patriot wife, and the Balkan immigrant community creates a powerful tension.Wonderful photography/editing,And charming theme song, thanks to Shel Silverstein. Susan Anspach is a knockout in portraying the dislocated housewife amidst the bizarre immigrants of the Zanzibar.It is an example of why small, independent films rule over the excesses of Hollywood garbage.

movie_3 it's a wonderful black comedy i have recently seen.the entire cast, direction are absolutely brilliant.especially, i want to mention characters named "marylin", "montenegro", maryline's son and daughter. their acting are really good to me.special scenes which i like in this movies are when marylin sings under the cuburd at her kitchen, she mixed poisons in her dog's milk,the airport scenes, the shower scene of montenegro and marylin, and the arrival of marylin to her family.especially, i think characters named "marylin" and "montenegro" are nicely depicted in this movie.the bizarre, facial, slight abnormal expressions of maryline are quite brilliant and absolutely i like the character montenegro with his charming face and beautiful personality.well, it's not the movie for everyone but obviously it's a worth-watching movie.i rate this movie 8 out of 10.

eightie Were it not for the wooden dialogs this could have been a better movie. It is a little hard for the characters to come off as authentic when they sound as if they give dictation. The humor was not bad, especially in scenes such as the group-photographs with the man with the knife sticking out of his forehead, but such scenes are few and far between in this movie. The ending (no spoilers here) is too abrupt, as if the director wanted to end the film in the quickest way possible. I could not identify with, or bring myself to like any of the characters, and that alone makes this a bad movie. The one thing I would say for this endeavor is that the sex scenes are refreshingly original.
