LOST HIGHWAY
Weird, creepy and uncompromisingly elliptic, it’s one of the most outright Lynchian films David Lynch has ever crafted
LITTLE OTIK
From the legendary Czechoslovakian animator/filmmaker Jan Svankmajer comes LITTLE OTIK, a singularly twisted, surreal look at childbearing and the responsibilities that come with it
LE GRAND DEPART
A 1972 French film shown almost entirely in negative exposure, which in itself makes it worth a watch
THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM
Goofy eighties horror-comedy from Ken Russell, whose finest work this definitely isn’t
TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME
For those who find David Lynch’s films glib or shallow, take heed: with FIRE WALK WITH ME he wasn’t kidding
TRACK 29
I may be the only person in the world who likes this movie, certainly among the most maligned ever made by the great Nicolas Roeg
THUNDERCRACK!
This is the legendary underground opus that interweaves Tennessee Williams-esque dialogue, hard core porn and gothic horror into a bizarre black-and-white micro epic
THE TENANT
This Roman Polanski thriller approaches greatness and, but for some questionable artistic choices, nearly achieves it
DREAMS THAT MONEY CAN BUY
Perhaps the ultimate surreal film, an anthology feature with segments designed by the renowned surrealists Max Ernst, Fernand Leger, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Calder, and directed by the avant-garde film specialist Hans Richter
DUST BOX
Creepy and unnerving art-horror from Sweden’s Ronny Carlsson, whose talent for surreal apprehension is put to unforgettable use
