The Touchables (1968)


Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Robert Freeman
My rating: 3 stars out of 4

Psychedelic film about sexual role reversal which takes place mainly inside a big bubble in a field. The opening theme is by Nirvana (not that Nirvana), and I heard snippets of Pink Floyd later in the film though not credited. The plot, such as it is, involves four women kidnapping a rock star, who is then pursued by a black homosexual wrestler and his mob. There is an interview with the rock star early in the film, which is the closest to an explanation you will get to the point of all of this. Still, some good cinematography, and it's rarely boring.
