I worry that at some time in the not too distant future the extent of the evil perpetrated during the 1930s and 40s will be forgotten. Watch this film and remind yourself that unless all good people stand strong, every day and every hour, these sort of events will keep happening, over and over again.

In this shocking (certainly for 1960), depressing, heart-breaking, uplifting and surprisingly honest movie, we see that it is only through individuals taking personal responsibility for their actions that we can have any hope of building a world fit for our children.

When I see films like this, and read the positive response from reviewers on IMDb, I still have some hope for the future.

I was lucky enough to see this on Spanish TV twice in a month about 12 years ago and have never forgotten it. The film is a full-on experience that shocks, enthrals and amuses from start to finish. It really is hard to take your eyes off the screen. The highlights? The Otto Muehl group's scenes (of bad behaviour!) and the sugar bed are stand-out ideas and images; the soundtrack is without doubt one of the most memorable I have ever heard - I can still clearly hear the (Serbian folk?)tunes in my head today and I haven't seen the movie in over a decade; and the last scene (just as the credits start to roll, if my memory serves me) is a cracker - funny and uplifting - this is, after all that has gone before, just a sweet little movie.
