W.R.: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM

A radical blend of documentary, political satire, and sexual liberation polemic, W.R.: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM is Dušan Makavejev’s notorious and fearless masterpiece exploring the life and theories of controversial psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. Jumping between Yugoslavia and the U.S., the film mixes interviews, archival footage, surreal drama, and avant-garde comedy, and was banned in its home country upon release in 1971. Both a playful experiment and a sharp political statement, this is the type of provocative cinema we love to screen at FOMO.
