"Viva la Muerte"
1970
Directed by Fernando Arrabal

Shortly after Alejandro Jodorowski brought his Fando and Lis to the screen, Spanish playwright, novelist and filmmaker Fernando Arrabal made his directorial debut with this equally bizarre, though quite different film. Based on his book, Baal Babylon, it is a shocking, surrealistic portrait of a young boy's search for his father, who was imprisoned during the Spanish Civil War. Filled with grotesque images of violence and sexuality, it has been celebrated as an avant-garde statement and blasted as unpleasant excess. "...a paroxysm of anguish, a scream for liberty and probably one of the most ferocious, violent films ever made" (Amos Vogel, The Village Voice). French with English subtitles.  90 minutes.
