Conspirators of Pleasure

In CONSPIRATORS OF PLEASURE Svankmajer takes us along on a journey of longing, lust, and desire. Without as much as a word he follows six city people, their fetishisms and striving after the satisfaction of their individual sexual obsessions. One of them constructs ingenious machines to satisfy his obsession for a beautiful TV news presenter. Someone else rolls small balls of bread and sniffs them up using rubber tubes. Yet another one designs a mad chicken costume with bat wings. These apparently senseless doings are studied by Svankmajer and blown up larger than life. Thus he creates a surrealistic and philosophical image of the complexity of human sexuality.
