| 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!
