Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Multi-language audio with English subtitles***Brocani conjures together all your favourite European cultural and historical myth figures in order to attack the centuries of 'sublimation' that have produced our cities and their inhabitants. The gang's all here: Frankenstein's monster gropes towards the awareness that his mind is a universe; Attila, naked on a white horse, liberates his people from their ignominy; the ultra-caustic Viva bemoans the frustrations of married life and drifts into the elegiac persona of the Bloody Countess Bathory; Louis Waldon is a hip American tourist searching for the (missing) Mona Lisa. The range is extraordinary, from stand-up Jewish comedy to a kind of flea-market expressionism. Brocani's approach is contemplative rather than agitational, which confounds the impatient; Gavin Bryars' lovely Terry Riley-esque score matches the ambience exactly.

Bizarre Art Movie which purports to be a 'statement about life'. The longer 120 minutes 35mm. version includes bloody Countess Elizabeth Bathory (here called Marthory), the Frankenstein monster, a really strange Satan, surrealistic King Kong, Attila the Hun, Montezuma, the fearful minothaur and other hellish characters.
