Ludo Mich - The making of Lysistrata (1976)

"Filmmaker, painter, sculptor, holographer, musician, performance artist and Fluxus associate Ludo Mich adapted Aristophanes' bitingly satirical poetic comedy into a strictly personal ludic burlesque. All actors perform naked. This was due not simply to the budget being too small to accomodate the appropriate costumes and regalia; the director also intended to use this particularity to heighten the impact of Aristophanes' anarchistic ideas. The original version was shot in a mixture of Dutch and (mainly) English. This highly personal, eccentric interpretation was shown at film festivals and museums worldwide."
