| Arrebato
Made in 1979, this incredible art film
by Spanish director Ivan Zulueta tells
the delusional story of an independent
filmmaker and his bizarre dissent into
drugs, vampirism, and his own cinematic
visions. While watching, one can't help
but see the connections to David Cronenberg's
Videodrome, which this film predates by
5 years!
This daring film combines the best elements
of Bunuel, Arrabal, Cronenberg and Lynch
without ever seeming derivative, phony
or self-conscious. Arrebato is without
a doubt a lost classic that needs to be
revived. Simply put, this is one of the
most haunting, strange and original films
you will ever see!
