Directed by James Ivory
My rating: 2 stars out of 4

(Turner Classic Movies)
Confused, pretentious story that has one point to make then no where to go. It opens with black and white footage of a tribe of primitive human mud men who wander around a forest, have sex, take drugs and otherwise are generally bored. They stumble upon an abandoned mansion and explore its contents. Cut to color, where the rest of the film is about wealthy socialites who wander around a mansion, have sex, take drugs and are otherwise generally bored. There is narration in German with no subtitles, unexplained violence and no plot. Similar themes have been explored much more interestingly by the likes of Fellini, Antonioni and especially Bunuel.
