...film has now achieved more or less legitimate distribution in Los Angeles and Manhattan, where it plays under the alias Censorship in Denmark: A New Approach. In San Francisco, de Renzy took the movie from what he jokingly calls his "sleazy lust house" in the tenderloin to a theater in the respectable Marina district. "We just couldn't fill up the theater with sex freaks," says de Renzy. "We are pitching to a much broader, middle-class audience." Not counting upcoming bookings in Seattle and Washington, D.C., the $15,000 venture has grossed some $800,000 in half...
...place in society," argues de Renzy. Before coming to that conclusion, he studied zoology at the University of Nevada, taught at an Air Force survival school, worked as a croupier in Reno, and shot industrial films in San Francisco. After moonlighting on stag movies, he leased a 50-seat lust house that he renamed The Screening Room.

On the other, freedom, justice, "the people" against entrenched power, blind chauvinism, blood lust and repression. Two visions: two ghastly caricatures: accepted as truths by more and more Americans...
Andreas Winkleman (Max von Sydow) is an inhabitant of that vital Bergmanian metaphor, an isle off the Swedish coast. Bearded, racked, his Christlike face appears to be a skull in rented skin. Indeed, his humanity is as transient as his lust. Andreas' only "friend" is Elis (Erland Josephson), a corrupt architect who shrewdly offers Andreas his money and haplessly lends him his frigid wife Eva (Bibi Andersson). She proves but a temporary distraction...
