Part documentary on the gonzo science of Willhelm Reich who created buzzwords like "orgon energy" and part satirical sex comedy about an activist in Communist Yugoslavia, WR: Mysteries of the Organism is, in a way, a companion piece to Dr. Strangelove in its play on tension and release. Where Strangelove keeps the orgasm at bay and eventually paints it as mutual destruction, WR is sex positive in the extreme, ascribing all the world's ills to the lack of "free love" and orgasms for all. And yet, all completion, all release, is orgasm according to the film's surreal tract, just a corruption of the true orgasm. Political upheaval, murder, intellectualism, sports, art, drugs, mental health care (stock footage of this may disturb), it's all an orgasm substitute, and therefore less satisfying, even pointless. WR is communist art house practically designed to be banned, especially in its own market. Today, a lot of the political subtext will fly over our heads, but what's left is still interesting, though bizarre.
