Mystery Of Organism
Makavejev certainly created a unique film, highlighting Yugoslavia attempts on maintaining a precarious balance between the East and the West during the early years of 1970s.The intercuts footage documentary / film WR: Mystery of Organism is a political and moral audacious satire.
Most of the scenes are actually chocking and most likely make most of us uncomfortable. Therefore, it is difficult to choose one particular scene within an avalanche of straight forward sequences. The scene(s) that amazed me the most, besides those violent women’s orgasmic screams, was the performance of a bearded a man dressed as a “soldier” making a parody of war and the sexual nature of man’s fascination with guns by stalking affluent New Yorkers on the street
while masturbating his toy riffle. Furthermore, as part of the climax of the film, the gun masturbation theme is for me stating Reich’s ideas that sexual frustration and violence are connected.
