Next, I watched the latest Criterion disc I've received, an avant garde film from 1971 called W.R. - MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM.
I'm sure in 1971 with its collage of images and declarations of free love and war protesting and Stalin and Jackie Curtis and William Reich, it was a sensation. Looking at it now, however, it just smacked of "kitchen sink" mentality to me (you know, throw everything into the film but the kitchen sink and let's see what flies.) Not a film I would ever want to revisit again.
