THE VALLEY OF THE BEES (1968. Tjekkoslovakiet)
The majestic brutality of the Middle Ages is brought to vivid life in this mesmerizing and surreal period drama. Ordered into the Brotherhood of Teutonic Knights as punishment for mocking his father's second (and very young) wife, Ondrej attempts to follow the knights' spiritual guidance, but eventually breaks with the group and returns home. Discovering his father has died, Ondrej begins a new and blasphemous relationship with his stepmother. By the epic director of "Marketa Lazarová". 97 min.

BLACKMAIL IS MY LIFE (1968. Japan)
Directed by Kinji Fukasaku ("Graveyard Of Honor", "Virus", "Battle Royale", "Black Lizard", "Battles Without Honor and Humanity") this yakuza and ambitious gangster/blackmailer film is most certainly one of the forerunners of many contemporary gangster/lowlife films: Stylish, sexy, villains with dubious ethics, catchy, hip music, ample, dramatically bold blood, a sharp, dynamic visual style complete with sequences in black & white, sepia and color, and abundant attitude while still being a critique of politics and power. Tarantino is really nothing new. 90 min.

Violence at Noon (1966. Japan) concerns the odd circumstances surrounding a horrific murder and rape spree. In a twist, the film is as much about the two women who protect the violent man—his wife and a former victim—as it is about him. Containing more than two thousand cuts and a wealth of inventive widescreen compositions, this coolly fragmented character study is a mesmerizing investigation of criminality and social decay. From the director of the controversial and erotic arthouse classic In the Realm of the Senses. 99 min.

Lunacy (2006. Tjekkiet) is loosely based on two short stories by Edgar Allan Poe and inspired by the works of the Marquis de Sade. In nineteenth-century France a young man is plagued by nightmares in which he is dragged off to a madhouse. On the journey back from his mother’s funeral he is invited by a Marquis he meets at lunch to spend the night in his castle. There he witnesses a blasphemous orgy and a ‘therapeutic’ funeral. He tries to flee but the Marquis insists on helping him conquer his fears and takes his guest to a surrealistic lunatic asylum where the patients have complete freedom and the staff are locked up behind bars. Described by legendary filmmaker Svankmajer as a 'philosophical horror film', Lunacy combines live action and stop-motion, sex and violence, grand guignol terror and gallows humor, and a lot of animated meat. 118 min.

Daisies aka Sedmikrásky (1966. Tjekkoslovakiet)

A satirical, wild and irreverent story of rebellion, Věra Chytilová's classic of surrealist cinema is perhaps also the most adventurous and anarchic Czech movie of the 1960s. Two young women, both named Marie, revolt against a degenerate, decayed and oppressive society, attacking symbols of wealth and bourgeois culture. Defiant feminist statement? Nihilistic, avant-garde comedy? It remains a cinematic enigma and its influence is still felt today - from the extreme Baise-Moi to the mainstream Thelma & Louise and in the films of (amongst others) Jacques Rivette, Bertrand Blier, Catherine Breillat and Gregg Araki. A riotous, punk-rock poem of a film that is both hilarious and mind-warpingly innovative, Daisies continues to provoke, stimulate and entertain. 73 min.

Fighting Elegy aka Kenka Erejii (1966. Japan)

High schooler Kiroku Nanbu yearns for the prim, Catholic Michiko, but her only desire is to reform Kiroku's sinful tendencies. Hormones raging, Kiroku channels his unsatisfied lust into the only outlet available: savage, crazed violence. Fighting Elegy is a unique masterpiece in the diverse career of Seijun Suzuki, combining the director's signature bravura visual style with a brilliantly focused satire of machismo and fascism. Filmmaker Suzuki is the maverick behind 60s cult classics like Branded To Kill, Gate Of Flesh, Tokyo Drifter. 86 min.

Jeg har opsagt samarbejdet med OSRAM, da der ikke kom nok folk, og omgivelserne var lidt nederen.

Så jeg regner med at rykke ud i Mayhem, Ragnhildgade 1 - hvis de stadig vil ha mig.

Ved ikke hvornår næste fremvisning i givet fald bliver. Fortsætter nok artyfarty weirdo film profilen...dog tilsat lidt mere sex og vold.

Tak til alle der kom i OSRAM, vi ses i Mayhem til efteråret.
