WR: Mysteries of the Organism
The film they said we would never see...
Directed by Dušan Makavejev
Produced by Telepool, Neoplanta Film
A provocative, formally experimental collision of documentary and surrealist narrative that weaponizes sexual liberation and Reichian theory against communist repression.
What does the energy harnessed through orgasm have to do with the state of communist Yugoslavia circa 1971? Only counterculture filmmaker extraordinaire Dušan Makavejev has the answers (or the questions). His surreal documentary-fiction collision 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.
