W.R. Mysteries of the Organism (Dusan Makavajev, 1971)

6/10
Kaleidoscopic faux documentary/narrative from Dusan Makavajev, it (to broadly define the movie) focuses on sexual politics in relation to communism and the studies of Dr. Wilhelm Reich, with whatever else Makavejev sees fit to throw in (a girl plaster-casting a penis? A shot of the editors of Screw magazine working in the buff? Why not). It's not coherent and plainly doesn't try to be, and there's only an ebb and flow of interest. I'll bump it a point more than I should have for the ending, which was unexpected and fun, but otherwise, not much to recommend here.
