Summary

Carole Laure, winner of the Miss Virginity World Contest, gets her prize: marriage to Mr. Kapital, a Texas billionaire, who whisks her off to Niagara Falls in a helicopter and then fails to consummate their marriage. Barely escaping with her life to Paris in a suitcase, Carole meets El Mach, a rock star, at the Eiffel Tower where they make love. But Carole withdraws and ends up in a radical therapy commune. In the meantime, Anna Prucnal, survivor of The Revolution, sails a barge down the canals of Amsterdam, takes on a sailor from the Battleship Potemkin, and murders him in a vat of sugar. Unbelievable? Sweet Movie is a hilarious comedy fused with eroticism and death -- it's funny, provocative, moving, disturbing, and totally original. Director Dusan Makavejev (Montenegro, Coca-Cola Kid, WR: Mysteries of the Organism) "willingly goes to the edge of psychic peril, risking his own insanity and freedom." (Film Quarterly) (Facets Video)
