Directed by Susan Sontag | 1969

With Adriana Asti, Gösta Ekman, Lars Ekborg

Grove’s distribution of Duet for Cannibals was one of many ways writer Susan Sontag and Rosset collaborated; her groundbreaking essay “Against Interpretation” was first published in the pages of Evergreen. Sontag made her initial foray into film with this seriocomedy about a strange love quadrangle that forms between two couples: a German ex-revolutionary and his wife, and their Swedish secretary and his fiancée, all of whom wind up alternately sleeping together and trying to kill one another. Sontag’s style hints at Godard and Buñuel, while the increasingly surrealistic plot turns are deliberately and fascinatingly opaque.
