Spoiler ahead: a simple-minded woman named Karen (Bodil Jørgensen) runs away from a personal tragedy and finds refuge in a bizarre commune of rebels w fight against the system by behaving in public like, well, idiots. Little by little, their callowness is revealed and their commitment to the "cause" is compromised. Only Karen takes the idea to the limits, paying a high price for it.<br /><br />Have you seen "The Idiots"? Am I onto something?

It was very nearly as edgy in its own way as "Y Tu Mama Tambien," which I wouldn't have expected from a movie of its era.Chip Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03696803541107190012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135701834929668413.post-56408704356284973872011-01-25T11:35:25.794-05:002011-01-25T11:35:25.794-05:00"Peanuts wah-wah adult voice."

..."Peanuts wah-wah adult voice." Great. <br /><br />Looking forward to this. I've been mesmerized by The Swimmer since the first time I saw it even though, as you've mentioned, Pollack's involvement is ironic. Thanks for the heads up!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464531948766525587noreply@blogger.com
