Sam Sobie Sterem, d. Katarzyna Latallo (1971)
I've seen a few translations of the original Polish title, mainly variations of 'I'm in Control'. But this hapless looking gentleman isn't in control of anything, least of all himself and his environment, as the director places him in a series of unnatural settings (a void, the pages of a book, underground) and makes him gyrate and perform, all the while flooding the frame with psychedelic colour and solarisation effects. It's pleasing to note that the director is a woman, and this is the early seventies, so it makes a change to see a bloke being messed about.
