Submission

About This Movie

Submission is a gritty drama from 1969 that dives deep into the warped psyche of its characters. The dynamic between the psycho sex-fiend and his childlike girlfriend, Vicky, is unsettling yet fascinating. It’s all about manipulation, control, and the dark corners of desire. The pacing can be jarring, but it’s this uneven rhythm that amplifies the tension. Allen Savage crafts an atmosphere that’s both claustrophobic and surreal, especially with the use of practical effects like the hot wax scenes. Vicky's evolution is intriguing; her turn towards a woman's touch adds layers to the narrative. Performances are raw and unrefined, capturing the essence of the characters' twisted relationship. Definitely a unique piece in the realm of underground cinema.
