MCT:November 3, 2008This was an interesting, but very strange movie. They really could have explained some things better. Also, I thought the story about the crazy boat woman would make a good movie all on it's own, I don't see why they combined these two stories.

MCT:October 15, 2008Al suo apparire nel 1974, Sweet Movie consegno' immediatamente il suo regista - lo jugoslavo Dusan Makavejev - al ristretto olimpo dei registi cult dell'epoca, accanto a Jodorowsky, Arrabal, Ken Russell e a quella piccola ma attivissima cerchia di autori impegnati in una personale lotta contro censura e istituzioni per creare una forma cinematografica del tutto slegata da mode, costrizioni e messaggi edificanti. Un cinema in cui potessero andare a braccetto la denuncia sociale e la follia ginsberghianamente liberata, la psicanalisi e l'occultismo, il sogno sfrenato e la realta' piu' agghiacciante. Sembra impossibile pensarlo oggi, ma per un certo periodo tutto questo funziono', e produsse un pugno di film -principalmente sotto l'egida del Movimento Panico francese- che ancora adesso sfuggono ad ogni tentativo di classificazione.

Filthy! This is perhaps the most diversely distasteful film that I've seen. I detected no actual plot, but I suppose it's some revolutionary protest what with the Potempkin sailor and the Communist conversations. Talk about not eating while watching tainting consumption.

Difficult to talk about this one after only one viewing but i can confidently say already, that this is one of the most f*cked up films i have ever seen, and it's very, very good. A film (seemingly) about the collapse of leftist ideals both in Soviet Russia and elsewhere this is an angry, vivid and totally depraved film that simply has to be seen by anyone with a taste for the way, WAY out there.

I liked this movie, and am glad Criterion released it.
I thinkf olks who like "extreme cinema," for lack of a better term, would enjoy it. It's in a class of films that could include John Waters's Pink Flamingos (and his whole 70s ouevre, basically), Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom, Myra Breckenridge, Jean-Luc Godard's Weekend, and other experiments in cinematic excess. I enjoyed it; the Criterion print is nice and clean-looking.
I've heard Salo will be reissued by Criterion in 2008.posted 465 days ago -
wow. a lot of hating on SWEET MOVIE. too bad; with the official US release on Criterion (who did a beautiful job), Dusan's classic is primed to provoke and, yes, dismay and even disgust a new generation. perhaps it boils down to the cliche "either you get it or you don't", though some would prefer "every generation gets the art it deserves".
i'm unwavering in my conviction that this is the most unique film ever attempted (and yes, it succeeds magnificently); my own personal # 1 favourite; and possibly the greatest ever.
hail Makavejev!!
(i'll write an 'official' review one of these days.)
