Notater om Korlighedon (1989)

Synopsis of Notater om Korlighedon

This pseudo-documentary chronicles, in a high-flown anthropological manner, the preliminary preparations men and women in Denmark make before they make love, and the things they do afterwards. Subjects are shown shaving, putting on make-up, dressing carefully, etc., and then getting together and caressing one another. The sex act itself is omitted. Then the subjects are shown smoking, deciding to put on their clothes and then deciding not to (for another bout of lovemaking). All is presented in a dry, non-emotional style. Adding to the documentary flavor of this experimental film (part of a series by the director) is footage from the Trobriand Islands, an hommage to anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski's groundbreaking work earlier in the century. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
