Unhappy American spouse Marilyn Jordan (Susan Anspach) is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She lives with her remote husband, Martin -- the erotic equivalent of a two-minute yawn. One day at the airport, she is separated from him, misses her plane, and joins up with some jovial Yugoslavian immigrants. She begins an affair with one of them, Montenegro, and must then decide whether her new life of unremitting passion can substitute for the stability she abandoned. [More]

Reviews for Montenegro
This funny and subversive film is by no means as unwatchable as some people have made Makavejev's work out to be.
If it begins deceptively, as though setting out to be your typically angst-ridden Swedish art movie, by the time it's reached its set of climaxes,Makavejev's film could not have strayed further from the beaten track.
There can be something absolutely liberating about a movie that makes up its rules as it goes along.
A halfheartedly Surreal comedy filled with forced high spirits, unconvincing lunacies and failed sight gags.
The beginning of the movie is extremely engrossing, but just when you think Susan's journey is going to amount to something, Makavejev resorts to his old shock-value tricks.
