The People Rebellius dedicated fiery young filmmakers from the unrestrained undergrounds of Hateshbury, Greenwich Village, and the Sunset Strip. These are the young men and women who threw away the rule books and point their camera lenses where none was ever pointed before.
Rarely are these pictures shown publicly outside of small members only cinema clubs in the three or four largest and most liberal cities of America. You are now witnessing scenes from such a picture. It is called a sweet segment.
It has also been called Eight Reels of Sewage. One of the most personal and revealing works of cinema art extant. Filt for felt sake. A moving visual experience. A thing of rare beauty. Garbage unfit to be seen by decent civilized people.
An honest, bitter but lyrical work, crock of smudge. The labels are unimportant. The fact that a sweet sickness can and will be shown to adults in this theatre is important. And whether or not you care to view it is your decision.
But be warned, this is a film that literally assaults the sensual senses. The place is here. The time is now. It's happening. This is the girl. There are no roots she won't travel. Painfully she learns making love is like eating candy. Eventually comes a sweet Sickness. The climax in adult entertainment. A sweet sickness. Sunset.
