Candy (1968)

Innocent young Candy, a sultry High school student governed by a mysterious and utterly delicious fate, embarks unexpectedly on a life-changing journey to discover the elusive meaning of life in the four corners of the world. Along the way, colourful and rather improbable characters will be more than willing to help the naive girl find the truth through an endless riotous parade of an eccentric drunkard poet, a Mexican gardener, a chaste General with his squad of decomposing zombies, an overzealous surgeon from hell, a filmmaker, and lastly, a smug all-knowing wandering guru. Will Candy's scandalous journey of sexual awakening bear fruit?

They don't make 'em like this anymore. Based on Terry Southern's classic novel, CANDY is remarkable film featuring a swinging soundtrack, actors like Richard Burton and Marlon Brando spoofing themselves, and a fast-moving picaresque story that satirizes late 60s America (military, academia, Eastern religion, etc). Criticized upon release for lack of any coherent story, is one of the best films from that era. Advocating sexual freedom and experimentation, Candy is one fun movie with a funny script by Buck Henry and wild visuals, like a glass-bottom limousine and Brando's gurumobile. A must-see!****
