Thundercrack! (Kuchar, 1975): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 8pm
This film is part of the 'Scala: Sex, drugs and rock and roll cinema' season at BFI Southbank. The movie also screens on January 14th. Full details here.
Time Out review:
The cult classic of weirdo hardcore, an irresistibly infuriating bad
taste whip of raunch and skewed melodrama, like a very horny Soap,
that quite literally leaves you unsure of whether you're coming or
going. Often seen cut, but in the full-length version there's more of George Kuchar's
parodically overripe dialogue, tracking the convergence of storm-tossed
travellers (a gorilla included) on cackling Gertie's Old Dark
masturbatorium, and giving a slower fuse to the series of casual
libidinous explosions there. But there's also more of Kuchar's truly
brilliant trash-noir lighting through which to peer at the pickles, the puke, and the polymorphs.
