POST COITUM
CZECH REPUBLIC 2004
Director: Juraj Jakubisko, 104 MIN
Slovakian director Juraj Jakubisko is quoted as saying that the meaning
of filmmaking is having the audience experience more miracles than they
could expect in real life. While watching POST COITUM, one is reminded
of this maxim, since the film – which employs numerous optical tricks
– is one long progression of sexual encounters, a vulgarized and
modernized variant on Arthur Schnitzler’s drama of indifference:
everyone changes partners like other people change underwear, and still
don’t find anything but their own emptiness. With actor Franco Nero
as a photographic artist whose relationship to his models is not strictly
professional, Jakubisko also satirizes his own profession.
