A strange and often disconnected puzzle of a film.
“Some Call it Loving” is hard to describe but I’ll try. It’s a bit like an art film (such as something by Bergman or Fellini) combined with a porno film with little porn…along with an LSD trip. The results are bizarre, unique and incredibly confusing. What does all this mean?!

The film begins with Robert (Zalman King…a Marjoe Gortner lookalike) seeing a strange carnival attraction. It seems that a pretty young woman has been sleeping for 8 years and audience members can pay to come up and kiss her…and try to awaken her. Soon you realize that the man who ‘owns her’ is more than willing to allow guys to pay to do far more…and he expects that is what Robert wants when he comes to see her later. However, he’s obsessed with her in a strange, non-sexual way and he buys the girl from him! Soon, after bringing her home, she awakens and he is smitten by her and vice-versa…though for a lot of the film their relationship is non-sexual. Instead, Robert walks around almost as if in a catatonic state himself…watching all sorts of weirdos. Two weirdos are his ‘girlfriends’ though they are clearly lesbians and kinky ones at that. Another is his junkie friend (overplayed badly by Richard Pryor). None of these people or vignettes make ANY sense and after a while you start to realize that everything and the disconnectedness of it all is highly reminiscent of a dream- -as if it’s not the girl who is asleep but the audience…or at least they are watching someone’s dream. Surreal beyond belief and late in the film there are finally some nude scenes (but they are amazingly non- sexy). The entire concoction is nonsensical and bizarre…so much so that it has ‘cult film’ written all over it but it’s also not something the average viewer would care about in the least. Additionally, its bizarro religious symbolism is bound to offend many, many viewers.

My advice is that if you want to watch porn, find a better and sexier film. If you want an art film, try “The Seventh Seal” or “8 1/2” as they are much more clever and artsy. Or, if you want a film that utterly confuses you, by all means try “Some Call it Loving”…but I wasn’t a fan by the time the film ended.

Strange, bizarre – such description doesn’t even come close
The cinema is such a magnificent art that it enables artists to minutely examine the darkest crevices in the human psyche. Here we have one of the strangest examples of this possibility.

Zalman King makes a superb central character of Robert Troy who brings a ‘sleeping beauty’ from a fairground to his West Coast mansion. It emerges that she has been artificially kept asleep – drugged by her fairground owner. The mansion to which she is brought is a cavernous affair populated simply by two women, whose relationship with Troy is never fully articulated. There are clear suggestions of necrophilia here as Troy’s obsession with the sleeping girl become more explicit, but the film doesn’t pursue these lines, leaving the audience to make connections and draw its own suspect conclusions.

One of the most disturbing aspects of the film is in the scene in which Jennifer relates to Troy how she had experienced being asleep and just remembering how the men in the fairground kissed her… and more. However, she had only the alternative of oblivion to compare these half-perceived experiences with so regarded them as precious, but Harris doesn’t moralise.

Although the British video that I watched (I had seen the film in the cinema before) promotes the fact that Richard Pryor is in the cast, he is, in fact, the weakest part of the film – playing a drug/booze-crazed friend of Troy. Carol White also has a strange part as the possibly Lesbian dominatrix, who regularly dresses as a nun in the weird role-playing games that pass for life in the mansion.

Visually the film concentrates on darkness with many strange chiaroscuro effects in the mansion lit by dim chandeliers and candles. When Jennifer (Sleeping Beauty) and Troy take a trip, it is mainly shot at night in anonymous, faceless locations. It seems to me that one of the few real clues to the heart of the film is in the choice of Nat King Cole’s ‘The Very Thought of You’ as the key musical motif. This points, it seems to me, to the notion of the film being a reflection of the way that love enters and distorts the mind of the lover.

Finally, in this extraordinary film – made by one of Kubrick’s closest associates of the time – we see mystery in almost every aspect. Where, if at all, does the flashback with which the film opens end, for example? There are relatively few movies that make you think that there is a whole new area of human existence, but this is one of them. It may be tacky and lacking in ‘taste and decency’ on occasion, but this is cinema of the fine line between decadence and depravity – it isn’t ‘nice’, but it’s, to use another Nat King Cole title, unforgettable.
