One of only a handful of films directed by legendary author and philosopher Susan Sontag, Duet for Cannibals is a dryly funny definition-defying psychological serio-comedy concerning the quadrangular relationship formed between two couples, one older and jaded, and the other younger and idealistic. What follows is a psychosexual and emotional entanglement, an intellectual and erotic chess match, and a generation gap battle of wills, staged by Sontag with a hard, austere compositional rigor that has reminded many of the contemporary cinematic endeavors Jean-Luc Godard and Alain Robbe-Grillet, while at the same time belonging to no-one but Sontag, working through the preoccupations of her writing on arts and aesthetics on the screen. (Sweden, 1969, 105 min., NR, Swedish with English subtitles| Dir. Susan Sontag)
