'The Bizarre Ones' (1967) - Ron Sullivan.
If murky, stink-fingered, Sitar-slathered 60s S&M grubbiness is your clenched fist of
drooling movie meat,
then prepare to grab an extra greasy fistful of sin-slinger, Ron Sullivan's profoundly
unattractive but
perversely satisfying trip into the freaky, funk-focused domain of wickedly way out, uber-cackling horndog hippies, their groovily emancipated, VW beetle-bound chicks and their blithely libidinous boyfriend's home-made, kinky-looking, kundalini kick-starting orgasmatrons!!!
Aptly named, The Bizarre Ones
is
a consistently crude, ill natured, uproariously absurd, pleasingly denuded B/W
'roughie' by a
wonderfully transgressive filmmaker who laudably dispenses with anything quite
so cumbrous as narrative, and luridly sets up innumerably static scenes of
rope-tied, blind-folded alfresco sexcapades, wherein priapic, prototypically
drugged-out beatniks cavort hedonistically in and about their grottily bucolic
love shack, crudely satisfying all their myriad, rarefied kicks in
a singularly brusque, almost wholly sexless fashion which paradoxically gives
this obscure, enticingly grainy confection of remarkably pulchritudinous hippie
hip-shakers
and
their clumsy carnal exploits rather more outré charm than it probably
deserves!
I never quite realized how much I desperately needed to watch an inauspiciously fashioned 'film' that actively promoted the somewhat esoteric, hitherto obscure culinary peccadillo of a mutual, pseudo-sensual licorice string banquet, an intimately masticatory act celebrated in a confounding, matter of fact manner so deliciously skewed that it reduces the more exploratory digressions of far more lauded arthouse directors to the asinine B-movie bungling of precocious art school dilettantes!
