Alright, this is a pretty obscure one, but I figure if anyone has the answer, they're on this board...
A few months ago, at the Coolidge Corner Theater near Boston, I caught a midnight screening of BLACK VOLTAGE, an incredibly obscure Danish sexploitation film from the 60s. And when I say obscure, I mean obscure; we thought it didn't even have an IMDb page until we discovered it was originallt called I, A WOMAN, PART 3 (Can't see why they thought that title wouldn't sell a sexploitation film in the states...)
Anyway, the movie was memorable for three things. First of all, it went a long way to verifying my mom's wild stories about the Copenhagen red light district. Secondly, it opened with an incredibly bizarre scene involving a nude woman floating in space being attacked by a boa constricter.
The third thing that made this film stand out was the continuity: the entire film was presented in nonlinear order. We couldn't figure out what the hell was going on for the first half of the movie, and once we figured it out... Well, we still didn't know what the hell was going on, but we knew it was happening nonlinearly.
So my question is this: Is this movie actually nonlinear, or did the theater accidentally jumble the reels? I've found a couple of resources on the movie (apparently Something Weird has it on VHS), but none mention its unique chronology. Anyone seen it? Confirm or deny, so I don't have to rent it from my local obscuro video house?
