Cast: Milena Dravić, Jagoda Kaloper, Ivica Vidović, Zoran Radmilović, Tuli Kupferberg, Jackie Curtis, Miodrag Andrić. Živka Matić, Dragoljub Ivkov, Nikola Milić, Milan Jelić.Summary: This documentary-fiction film begins as an investigation into the life and work of controversial psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and then explodes into a free-form narrative of a beautiful young Slavic girl's sexual liberation. Banned upon its release in the director's homeland, this art-house smash is both whimsical and bold in its blending of politics and sexuality.
