Till Sex Us Do Part (1972)
Director: Vilgot Sjöman
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Vilgot (I Am Curious) Sjöman here ventures into the awkward territory of parodying the sex film. Though happily married for five years, a young couple believe (and almost make you believe) that if they consummate their marriage they'll die. Ninety unsuccessful minutes later they decide on a suicide pact, taking the predictable way out. It's often leaden (he's particularly oafish), sometimes funny (an operatic sequence at an orgy), and occasionally touching; but the constant flashes of knickers do tend to obscure the film's basic point, which argues that there's more to sex than meets the eye.Author:
