One of the most delightful films of Dusan Makavejev (WR--Mysteries of the Organism, Sweet Movie, etc.) is this rarely shown short feature made in 1966. Love Affair is called by Tom Luddy, “a diabolically successful collage of comic, tragic, and iconic images inspired by the questions, ‘Will man be remodeled? Will future man retain certain old organs?' Makavejev's investigation, aided by lectures by an aged sexologist and a prominent criminologist, turns on a somewhat bizarre love affair involving a voluptuous telephone operator and a timid health inspector who is also an active member of the People's Rat Extermination Brigade. Makavejev's conclusions are somewhat pessimistic in the light of orthodox party ideals, but few films have ever expressed such love for mankind, his lower nature, his neuroses, and especially his most perverse sexual sublimations into social and technological institutions. The film contains one of the most beautiful love scenes (not a sex scene) ever recorded on film.”
