Story
The film 'Sweet Movie' begins with the winner of the Miss World Virginity contest, who marries and soon escapes her masochistic husband to find herself entangled in a world of debauchery. The narrative then shifts to focus on Anna Planeta, a woman steering a candy-filled boat through Amsterdam's canals with a large papier-mâché head of Karl Marx on its prow. She seeks the irresistible delights of flesh, death, and revolution.
Summary
'Sweet Movie' is an avant-garde art film directed by Dušan Makavejev in 1974. The movie intertwines two distinct stories: one involving a beauty queen's descent into degradation and emancipation through liquid chocolate, and another featuring Anna Planeta's surreal journey on a candy-filled boat seeking pleasure, death, and revolution. Set against a backdrop of comedy, drama, and mystery, the film explores themes of sex, surrealism, and societal critique.
