WR: Mysteries of the Organism /WR – Misterije organizma Series: 1968: An International Perspective [April 29-May 14] Director: Dusan Makavejev, Release: 1971, Runtime: 85 "WR: Mysteries of the Organism tackles crucial, and perennial, problems in culture, sexuality and politics. It honors, critically yet nostalgically, a pioneer attempt to reconcile Marx and Freud. It's the first and [among] the boldest explorations of social breakdowns in Eastern European communisms."--Raymond Durgnat "An anarchic sexual-political tour de force." - A. O. Scott, The New York Times “QUINTESSENTIAL… Part counterculture doc, part New Left comedy, the saddest and funniest of ’68 post-mortems, as well as the movie most redolent of the period—that is, everything at once.” - J. Hoberman, The Village Voice "A cheerfully wacky movie, made at a liberated moment for cinema. Still, you'll never forget it." - Time Out New York “A gonzo documentary!” - Michael Joshua Rowin, The L Magazine Makavejev's provocative and often hilarious take on the sexual revolution and its consequences intercuts a wry, modern romance between two young Yugoslavs and a visiting Russian ice skater with an exploration of the work of Wilhelm Reich, the controversial psychoanalyst and sex therapist whose promotion of orgone energy theory eventually brought him to the unwelcome attention of the U.S. authorities. Too anarchic in form to take itself entirely seriously, WR was banned for 16 years in Yugoslavia and led to Makavejev leaving for the West and supposedly friendlier shores for his kind of cinema.
