This film concerns various womens' quests for the meaning of their collective angst. To be sure, the scapegoat is found, and he his man (i.e. male).

This silly tripe masquerades as an "art" film. It is not. Rather, "Perversions," is a polemic which uses tired dream sequences (poorly done), and suppressed memories (silly in their recreation) to create artificial sympathy from the audience to the women leads. I'm not buying it.

A poignant example is the confused youth who has recently begun her period. She marks each monthly occasion with faux burials of non-existent children. How is she cured? With a hug of course. And she is probably the sanest of the bunch.

Please don't be fooled by the bizarre plot line. You are apt to laugh through many of this movie's zany scenes. I was constantly thinking of Ed Wood. He would have loved this film. Had he made it, it would have been better.

This joker of a Berkely masterpiece for me, rates the dubious film one out of ten. I think, after thousands of reviews, I've doled out the infamous one rating only twice before. Well, "Perversions" is in good company now. This film is bunk extraordinaire.
