Program Note
<b>Sweet Movie</b>, perhaps Makavejev′s most controversial and scandalous, is a film that is simultaneously completely depraved and absolutely wonderful, a must-see for aficionados of foreign cinema. This film actually contains two parallel plots. In the first story, the winner of the Miss World Virginity contest escapes from a sexless marriage to an oil tycoon named Mr. Kapital, has a wild affair with a famous rock star and settles in a radical commune. The other story features Comrade Anna Planeta, a captain of a ship bearing the head of Karl Marx on its prow as she travels
the canals of Amsterdam with a cargo of sugar. She makes love to a young sailor from the Battleship Potemkin (a reference to the Eisenstein film) in a bed of sugar and kills him, mixing his blood with the sugar. Makavejev′s bizarre and pointedly satirical vision is totally uncompromising and filled with shocking images.
Director

Dusan Makavejev
The sixth
edition of Pusan International Film Festival presents ′ A Tribute to Dusan
Makavejev, ′ showing Makavejev ′ s three renowned films; <b>W.R.: Mysteries of the
Organism</b> (1971), <b>Sweet Movie</b> (1974) and the latest <b>Gorilla Bathes at Noon </b>
(1993). This program will be a chance to look at some of his masterpieces
and understand the film world of Dusan Makavejev.
One of the most important
filmmakers in world cinema, Dusan Makavejev was born in Belgrade,
Yugoslavia, in 1932. He has witnessed the disintegration of the monarchy,
ravaging by the Nazis, resistance and civil wars, liberation and domination
by the Russians, Tito ′ s break with Stalin, and now the dismemberment of his
homeland. The core of his nomadic career is LIBERATION- from sexual
repression, political suppression, and cultural oppression in all forms. He
interrogates ideologies, debunks myths, and challenges sanctions on all
fronts, satirizing the hegemonies of both capitalism and communism.
Dusan
Makavejev made four films for the Kino Klub in Belgrade (1953-1958), became
an award-winning documentarian with sixteen films between 1958-1964, and
over the next six years (1965-1971) made four features which brought him
international attention: <b>Man Is Not a Bird</b> (1965) aims to ironize the working
class; <b>Love Affair, or the Case of a Missing Switchboard Operator</b> (1967)
focuses on a love story between a telephone operator and a rat exterminator;
<b>Innocence Unprotected</b> (1968) combines a 1942 semi-documentary of the same
name with images of the participants twenty-five years later; and <b>W.R.:
Mysteries of the Organism</b> (1971), the most famous film based on the theories
of sexual psychologist Wilhelm Reich, was an international hit but was
judged so "Subversive" in Yugoslavia that it was not officially shown there
until 1986. Since then, he has made six more features abroad in France,
Canada, Sweden, Australia, Holland, and Germany: <b>Sweet Movie</b>, <b>Montenegro</b>,
<b>The Coca Cola Kid</b>, <b>Manifesto</b>, <b>Gorilla Bathes at Noon</b>, and <b>A Hole in the Soul</b>.
