Till Sex Us Do Part

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.
