Also known as: The Sexual Revolution
Description: This film is a crazy quilt of tongue-in-cheek vignettes, all spoofing the sexual revolution of the 70s. It is a great piece of dirty satire, featuring some of the best improvisational comedians of the era, including Buck Henry and the hilarious Marshall Efron.
Many of the movie’s funniest sequences take place at the Bureau of Sexological Investigation, where the head doctor, Alan Abel, instructs his patients on solving a variety of weirdly humorous maladies. There are also real “on the street” interviews with Abel and an inspired group of people.
The film throws in a topless string quartet, a pornographic opera, life inside a nudist camp, and a marvelous bit with an X-rated filmmaker, delivering a constant barrage of laughs. The most comical scene is the “International Sex Bowl” sequence at the end, which remains a classic piece of comedy.
Driving through New York City in his Sexmobile, Dr. Harrison Rogers of the Bureau of Sexological Investigation searches for luminary figures in the world of sex.
Is There Sex After Death” is a tongue-in-cheek look at sex and attitudes about sex, released in 1971. While the episodic film is X-rated and features a lot of frank nudity, it is mostly unsexy (aside from the “Sex Olympics” bit). If you are looking for sexual gratification, you could do a lot better. Sadly, however, if you are looking for comedy, you could also do a lot better—which is really unfortunate, as the film is intended to be a comedy.
The narrator, Dr. Rogers (actually Alan Abel himself), discusses a wide range of normal and bizarre sexual behaviors, occasionally showing naked people engaging in a few of these acts.
Highly recommended!
