StunnaKrypto
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Ensofter
Overrated and overhyped

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Jan Švankmajer has made a career out of bizarre images, and "Spiklenci slasti" ("Conspirators of Pleasure" in English) continues that. It depicts some people who come up with weird ways to fulfill their sexual fetishes. Whether it's a pornographic papier-mâché rooster head, tiny bits of bread, or something else, these people have some wacky ideas. I suspect that part of the movie's purpose is to show that the Czech Republic had just broken free of Soviet domination, so overt sexuality was still awkward. But even if you ignore that, you have to appreciate that someone was willing to put all this stuff on screen. I also recommend Švankmajer's black comedy "Little Otik".A fun time all around.

Only Jan Švankmajer would be able to make a film like this.Pretty much like his other works, "Conspirators of Pleasure" is a fascinating movie with many elements from surrealism, which combines perfectly well some creepy stop-motion animation with some (even more) bizarre elements, resulting in a dark and unusual comedy where the pleasure is often associated with the uncomfortableness and guilt.Conspirators of Pleasure is a brilliant set of Freudian tales: We don't rule our desires, our desires rule us. It is a brief, but totally worth-watching experience with can be compared with anything that I've seen before.

Jan Svankmajer(Alice), uses the same stop motion and puppetry techniques he has become legend for in a movie about masturbation, but containing almost no explicit sexuality. Six strangers bump into each other, exchange glances, and end up becoming the objects of the others affections, which manifests in the construction(for most of the movie), of elaborate Rube Goldbergian sexual apparatus's. How do you have sex with someone who's only an image on a TV screen? It's here, as well as a straw puppet S&M scene, snorting dough, and fish toe sucking, yes that too. There's also an amazing ending, which ties all idiosyncratic strings together brilliantly merging politics, sexuality, and psychology in it's final moment and literal, climax. Like most Svankmajer stuff there's no dialog, and it's amazing the amount of ideas infused in the film only through actions, gestures, and inventions. Hard to find but well worth it. A masterpiece of sexual obsession, repression, and inter-connection.

This movie is in short term just an amazing, yet bizarre trip to the leftover ruins of surrealism. Its about something as embarrassing as masturbation, but in a more symbolic way I think. More like how everyone hides parts of their life, their weird fetishes and how extreme some of these are.For the most this movie is makes you go "What the hell is happening? What is he/she doing?" And it all ends up in amazing madness.. that at least left me in awe. There's all kinds of fetishes around here.. and they're all so weird you can't help but smile.We all have our secret little weirdness turn-ons, strange and unique features and our little fetishes, so this movies is sure to hits a private spot in everyone. (Not everyone will like that though... hoho..)Svankmajer is one of the last great stop-motion makers. One of the last who seems to hold on to its traditions, develop it instead of turning over to cheap 3D computer animation. Its truly unique. And except for the Quay Brothers.. there aren't really much people who is still developing the stop-motion theater. All thumbs up anyway.
