It's Only A Movie: Double Feature

We are back! We had to miss May, so to make it up, we're coming back with double the fun this June! 2 madmen directors who threw cinematic molotov cocktails in the face of good taste pair up to bring you 2 films that weaponize national trauma and political decay to devastating, perverse and sometimes hilarious effect.

DIABEL "The Devil"

Andrzej Żuławski

1972

From the director of POSSESSION, DIABEL is a Polish horror film that takes place during the Prussian invasion of Poland in 1793, a Polish nobleman is saved from imprisonment by a stranger who wants a list of conspirators as repayment. He travels across the country with his rescuer and commits a number of gory murders.

Sweet Movie

Dušan Makavejev

1974

"Sweet Movie" is the story about the winner of the Miss World Virginity contest who marries, escapes from her masochistic husband, and ends up involved in a world of debauchery. A film that is sort of the missing link between Saló, The Holy Mountain and Kentucky Fried Movie, you won't believe your eyes when confronted with Sweet Movie.
