Conspirators of Pleasure (1999)

In Conspirators of Pleasure Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer takes a playful, surreal peek at the private lives of six men and women whose quest for the ultimate erotic fix involves elaborate, fetishistic rituals. A postal worker sucks tiny balls of bread up her nose; a matronly dominatrix constructs a life-size, anatomically correct straw man. Weird stuff, but Svankmajer transcends kinky cliches by observing his characters' peculiarities with the keenness of a documentarian and the imagination of a poet. B+
