stand-out viewing for the CHUD-shaped siracha-lubed vibrator that was September.
(August)
hyper-manic splatter-camp.
FFO Paperhouse, Tideland, Reflecting Skin, Heavenly Creatures
GOODBYE UNCLE TOM (1971, dir. Gualtiero Jacopetti, Franco Prosperi)
TINY TIM: KING FOR A DAY (2020, dir. Johan von Sydow)
the biggest surprise this year; one of the Whitest Kids U Know splashing multiplexes with an ultra-bizarre paperback nightmare that brings to mind everything from Raw Meat to Angst to New French Extremity, all while maintaining a theme that there is no more great a destroyer than banal human incompetence.
like the Vienna Aktionists tried their hand at a grey market splatter film.
just might be the most hideously effective film i've ever seen, and arguably the best from the Mondo Cane crew. it's like the more beautiful a Riz Ortolani composition, the more repugnant the film (even moreso than Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust)
perhaps the most subversive entry in the David-Hess-is-a-rapey-lunatic trilogy.
West keeps getting better and more interesting with every film, and i'm on board for this X-panded Universe (tm)
this one's got ALL the panics.
not a wasted minute in this one.
WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR (2021, dir. Jane Schoenbrun)
if you're going into this one expected some reductive-ass Unfreinded piece of silly-goosery, i hope you you never recover.
