Up! (1976)
6/10
Meyer's filmography is a gift that keeps on giving
6 December 2022
Meyer's penultimate film (his final effort - a direct-to-video plotless short after a twenty plus year absent does not count) is about as zany as one could imagine.

Throwing everything but the kitchen sink in, this has it all - lush baroque European castles, resurrected fascist dictators, a Greek chorus and more nature gone wild than a David Attenborough BBC special.

Meyer's here really ridicules the revelries involved in coupling and copulating, yet his biggest target is aimed squarely at the viewer - he mocks us for being voyeurs at his cavalcade of perversions.

While not as witty or engaging as previous works, Meyer proves yet again that his main talent is his mis-en-scene. With editing skills like this, the mind wonders what kind of film he could have made if his interests laid elsewhere.....
