Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) review

Peculiar look at sexual politics and what Mazursky seems to think is a need for openness in marriages - instead of suppressing the urge to have sex with a woman you meet on an airplane, do it, but then be honest about it with your wife later, instead of keeping it to yourself. After coming back from one of those retreat camps - in my view, one of the lowest circles in Hell - Bob and Carol, freshly enlightened, encourage Ted and Alice to talk about how they 'feel,' and interact with people in new and enlightening ways (did I mention this retreat camp also specializes in brainwashing?). Sir Richard Burton once said that once you "start fiddling around outside the idea of monogamy, nothing satisfies anymore" - a concept Mazursky doesn't even bother considering (unless those blank looks during the final bedroom scene are supposed to mean something), since he's obviously pressing to be 'hip.'
