A group of perfectly intelligent young people decide to react to society’s cult of aimless, non-creative and non-responsible form intellect by living together in a community of “idiots”. Their main activity becomes going out into the world of “normal” people and pretending to be mentally retarded. They take advantage of this situation to create anarchy everywhere they go and try by every possible means to make people annoyed, disturbed, miserable, ridiculous, angered, and shocked. The film starts as they recruit a new lost soul and introduce her to their megalomaniac leader.
Controversy arose over the sexual content, which was unusually explicit for a narrative film. The Idiots contains a shower scene in which a member of the group (in character as an “idiot”) has an erection and, later, a group sex scene that includes one couple (faces not seen, stand-ins from the porn industry) having unsimulated penetrative (vaginal) sexual intercourse.
A completely uncut version of this has proved elusive. IMDB (which is not always correct on some details) lists this at 117 minutes . . . . That differential would seem to exceed PAL vs. NTSC type explanation.
