User review:

I must confess that the existence of arthouse cinema in early-1970s Yugoslavia was something that had escaped me entirely before I saw this movie. It’d be easy to dismiss it as soft porn (a couple of fleeting moments are more explicit than that), but clearly its aspirations aim higher. It’s just a pity that there’s such a gap between aspirations and execution. As an example of this, great play is made of Luka’s intellectual endowment being such that he thinks it’s aw shucks really wonderful that if you look out one side of the car the scenery goes from left to right whereas, if you look out the other, it goes from right to left; now we know where Deepak Chopra got some of his best lines. Mind you, it’s not Luka’s intellectual endowment that Dina seems particularly interested in.
