Dusan Makavejev has adapted Emile Zola's short story, "Night of Love" to film in his typically irreverent, cheeky style. The story begins as two characters simultaneously arrive in a small Central European town: Avanti's there to make certain the new king's hunting trip goes smoothly, while Svetlana has returned home for the opposite reason -- she plans to assassinate the monarch. But both parties get sidetracked by erotic encounters. He's charmed by an ice-cream-selling nymphet (and caught while trying to seduce her), while Svetlana renews an affair with a surly manservant who had taken her as a young girl. When each these trysts culminates in a wild brouhaha, the two grab the next train out of town... where they finally meet, and push all thoughts of the king aside in favor of lust. [More]
