Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - When Two Worlds Collide
Savages is an art film with an outlandish but very clever premise and plot: what would happen if a tribe of primitive men & women stumbled into an abandoned English manor and were gradually transformed by their surroundings into the twentieth-century's social elite.

In the opening segment we are given a glimpse of the mud people who order their world according to rites and rituals (many of them related to fertility). Interestingly enough, the mud people are ruled by a high priestess ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Just a bad movie
Look up pretentious in the dictionary, it will say: claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified, which is a perfect way to describe this utter waste of time. "Savages" is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The story goes something like this: a tribe called the mud-people discovers a cricket ball in their forest which leads them to an abandoned mansion. The mud-people then take over the mansion and they start to evolve into civilized people, but retain the ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Weird is a mild description
This is the strangest film I have ever seen. After multipal viewings, it still does not make sense. I got it because of the actors in it. Well, they had to be hard up to have done this film, first running around almost naked with their bare behinds showing (bare except for tail like pieces in the center of their derriers.) Some were lucky in that they had large masks on so the viewer did not know who they were. Then spouting inane dialogue that seems to have come from some drug induced dream.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Hilarious Allegory of the Decline of Western Civilization
Merchant and Ivory go on a psychedelic bender in this mad indictment of capitalist culture and hubris. The accidental discovery by the mud people of a perfect sphere induces them to abort their planned human sacrifice and follow the bouncing ball. This leads them to an abandoned Long Island mansion, where, literally overnight, they blunder their way into the formation of a perfect 1930's dinner-party society. There are an industrialist, a poet, male and female cross-dressers, a fallen woman, a slave girl, ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Actors must have needed a paycheck! Ugh!!
Weird is hardly adequate for this thing. I tried to watch this one, but fast forwarded through most of it. Obviously not my taste to keep this dumb movie in my library, so I didn't. Truly the actors must have needed the work. Can't you imagine their giggling through this thing as they marched ...through the muddy forest to their next adventure! They followed the bouncing/rolling wooden ball to discover a new era, including a chest of old clothes and how to wear them. That was somewhat amusing, even though ... Read More
