Erosu purasu Gyakusatsu

While some of the "experimental" artiness seems quite dated, the themes concerning the relationship between social revolution and sexual revolution, and between "free love" and "women's rights", are pursued a fair distance, along with an unusual willingness to examine the contradictions of the "bourgeois" "intellectual" and the "revolutionary" "activist", etc., framed with an air of failure and tragedy, and an interesting attempt at implicating all of this in the filmmaking process itself.

Stylish but mostly pretentious chat. If you like Godard maybe you'll like this too.

I had a lot of problems with this movie, but my main one would be that it unsuccessfully weaves two story-lines into one narrative. I appreciate what it's trying to do: contrasting the free love of the 1920s anarchists with the free love of the 1960s (a time when the movement had gone worldwide). But it feels like two movies in one; which also means twice the length as normal, along with some jarring editing and time jumps. I got bored after a while.

To Adam P-D: I love Godard but didn't enjoy this at all.

Estreava Eros + Massacre há exatos 50 anos na França. Demorei tanto a assistir esse filme porque a minha intenção era ler antes o Memórias de um anarquista Japonês do Osugi Sakae que tá aqui na minha estante há tempos, mas fica pra depois, embora esse filme fique bem melhor sabendo-se sobre a vida dos envolvidos para compreender mais firmemente toda a simbologia empregada entre o anarcafeminismo dos anos 20 e a revolução sexual dos anos 60. Director's Cut BlurayRip no MakingOff.

216 min. director's cut.

Too good, & has a post-cinematic effect

Very compelling camerawork, but despite the density of the plot(?), I couldn't help feeling it could have been more effective if it were shorter (I watched the 205-minute version). Definitely will require another viewing.
