Synopsis

Although largely a live-action film, Jan Svankmajer's strange, otherworldly depiction of the bizarre, solitary sexual activities of six people is very much in the spirit of his surreal, stop-motion animated films Alice and Faust. Forgoing any explanation by dialogue, Svankmajer allows his distinctive visual artistry to convey the odd, sometimes nightmarish fantasy world his characters occupy. "To describe Conspirators of Pleasure as a live-action cartoon is a little like calling James Joyce''s Ulysses a salty Irish yarn" (Stephen Holden, New York Times). Also included is a Svankmajer live-action/animation short, Food (1992, 16 mins.), a Jan Svankmajer---Czech Republic/Switzerland/Great Britain---1996---85 min s.

Weird, gross, wordless, full of images and sound effects that might make you gag. I thought it was about very personal fetishes and forms of pleasure that others wouldn't understand, but by the end I'm thinking it's more about voodoo.
