1969 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films

“A film set in the open love timeframe of society. Crazy influence from the Esalen-style retreat and Bob and Carol choose honesty and free love within their marriage. Their friends Ted and Alice have trouble copping with this information and how it projects upon their marriage. this movie pulls at societies struggles with sex being conflated with love. I think these couples felt they were on the cutting edge of relationship and still missed the boat. I’d watch it again to try to tease out all the microaggressions and challenges of navigating an open marriage.”
