Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream. Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream is a 2005 documentary written and directed by Stuart Samuels, based on his book on the subject.[1] The film chronicles the period between 1970 and 1977 in which six low-budget films shown at midnight transformed the way films are made and watched: El Topo (1970), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Harder They Come (1973), Pink Flamingos (1972), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), and Eraserhead (1977).
The film was screened out of competition at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.[2] References[edit] Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream. All Critics (9) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (1) | DVD (7) Samuels' own enjoyment for midnighters comes through in his funky visual design -- visually spunky for a clips-and-talking-heads film -- and in the energetic editing.
It's a celebration of cinema-going as a 'ritual experience or trip', a communal adventure with no real equivalent in the exquisitely atomised YouTubeverse. In this affectionate glimpse into those countercultural times, filmmaker Stuart Samuels has compiled an engaging distillation of those nocturnal filmic emissions. June 3, 2006 An extremely interesting film.
Enjoyable, if blandly celebratory. For any movie nut who craves their exhibition history, this is a must see documentary. Samuels' film both contextualises and celebrates these strange slices of subversive counter-culture To the film's credit he does manage to get the major participants together, with each film having a representative key creative person talking about the project.

Santa Sangre est un film italo-mexicain réalisé par Alejandro Jodorowsky, sorti en 1989, qui raconte la vie d'un jeune homme schizophrène qui est né dans l'univers du cirque. Santa Sangre est un film méconnu du grand public qui contient de multiples caractéristiques qui en font un film à part dans le septième art, dans la lignée directe de Freaks. Synopsis[modifier | modifier le code] Flashback[modifier | modifier le code] Le spectateur apprend que Fenix a grandi dans un cirque qui appartient à son père, Orgo, un homme couvert de tatouages, lanceur de couteaux, fort mais assez féminin. La mère de Fenix, Concha, est une trapéziste et acrobate. Pendant que la mère est suspendue dans les airs lors d'une représentation, elle voit son mari se rapprocher d'une femme tatouée et partir avec elle. Santa sangre (Holy Blood) All Critics (39) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (33) | Rotten (6) | DVD (9) You can say this: It is never boring.
Santa Sangre's content puts it beyond the call of duty for even the most slavishly devoted art-house denizen. What Jodorowsky lacks is a sense of humor, in the absence of which his films turn ludicrous. Visionary and haunting, Santa Sangre is a mixture of blood poetry and gobbledygook that keeps springing astonishingly to life. The impression is of an old-school horror with sporadically interesting experimental ornamentation. The Mel Brooks of vulgar surrealism, Jodorowsky's basic principle is that if you throw 30 outrageous ideas at the audience, 2 or 3 are bound to make an impression. While it's not especially easy viewing, and unquestionably not for all tastes, Santa Sangre is exhilarating, challenging, enigmatic and distressing, but entirely rewarding and entertaining.

La Montagne sacrée est un film de long-métrage mexico-américain réalisé par Alejandro Jodorowsky, sorti en 1973. Le film est librement inspiré du roman inachevé du poète René Daumal, Le Mont Analogue. Synopsis[modifier | modifier le code] The Holy Mountain. All Critics (21) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (4) | DVD (6) Not even Buñuel with a brainful of Woodstock's bad brown acid could have made something this gloriously screwy.
Alejandro Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain is a dazzling, rambling, often incoherent satire on consumerism, militarism and exploitation. La-montagne-sacree. Fando y Lis. Fando y Lis is a film adaptation of a Fernando Arrabal play by the same name, and it is Alejandro Jodorowsky's first feature length film.
Arrabal was working with Jodorowsky on performance art at the time. The film was done in black and white on the weekends with a small budget and was first shown at the Acapulco Film Festival in 1968. Plot[edit] The film follows Fando (Sergio Klainer) and his paraplegic girlfriend Lis (Diana Mariscal) through a barren, post-apocalyptic wasteland in search of the mythical city of Tar, where legend has it all wishes come true. [edit] Fando y Lis (Fando and Lis) All Critics (9) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3) | DVD (5) An adorable, preposterous mutant film from the heyday of international do-your-own-thing moviemania.
For all its invocations of theater of cruelty, Fando and Lis hardly ever scares up anything stronger than unpleasant whimsey. Very much a late '60s freakout, tricked out with car cemeteries and action painting in the nude, the movie is fake-profound but seldom dull. Fando-y-lis3. El Topo.

Une grande quête métaphysique va commencer pour lui. El Topo. All Critics (37) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (28) | Rotten (9) | DVD (10) The film is by turns comic and profound, hysterical and pompous, fully complex enough to deserve more than a simple yea or nay. A dreary, protracted exercise in sadomasochism. The movie's lure is sensual and unflagging; that's what makes it, for all its arty absurdity, the last great movie of the 1960s. El-Topo. La Cravate. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La Cravate est le premier court métrage où Alejandro Jodorowsky fait son apparition. Sorti en 1957, le court métrage a été perdu puis retrouvé par hasard auprès d'un particulier et figure maintenant dans les bonus du coffret dvd L'Univers d'Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Le court métrage est en couleurs, muet et dure 20 minutes. Tous les décors sont faits en carton, ce qui lui donne une esthétique très théâtrale, théâtre dont est par ailleurs issu Alejandro Jodorowsky. 63446163.
