Wow! If you're feeling nostalgic for the sixties /seventies and the vibe from back in those days, this is the movie for you. The basic premise of the movie is filmed around the time America was just on the edge of the women's lib movement and it is about the sexual Revolution and rebelling against the mores and norms that were so prevalent in the sexually repressed nineteen-fifties. It focuses on two couples' lives, marriages and the concept of free love during a confusing and evolving period in America's history where people faced a societal upheaval of conventional Behavior. A very provocative movie that looks at and challenges the concept of love in conventional monogamous marital relationships verses open marriages.... and makes an argument that good marriages can exist outside of convention - and goes even further to suggest that "swinging" strengthens a marriage. It avers, that like most animals, monogamy is not an innately, natural, human trait but rather that it's against all of our human tendencies. It advocates sex purely for pleasure and differentiates it from the emotional and loving sex between a married couple. The movie shows women finding their sexual empowerment and how their roles as mothers, wives, and individuals in society we're greatly changed this revolution... it did a great job of depicting that all of these changes were not without their downsides. It is a great look into that time period and did a great job of showing the mindset of the time.
