WR: Mysteries of the Organism

Description:
Occasionally, counterculture artifacts from the hippy era emerge which blow minds with glimpses of real radicalness that would never get produced today. WR stands for Wilhelm Reich, a pioneer in research linking politics and sex. This free-wheeling 1971 Yugoslavian documentary-slash-fictional narrative combines 60s sexual lib, drag queens, political rhetoric and talking severed heads. The missing link between Godard and Bruce La Bruce. – WB
