SCARECROW IN A GARDEN OF CUCUMBERS (1972)

Jon W. — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 10:46:24 +0000

Warhol Superstar Holly Woodlawn plays Eve Harrington, a small-town girl from Kansas who tries to make it big — or at least find a roommate — in New York in this long-lost madcap movie musical extravaganza from filmmaker Robert J. Kaplan. Along the way she’ll get tangled up with everyone from wrestlers to crunchy granola lesbians on her way-too-relevant quest to find secure housing.

One of the very first films to be built around a trans actor, Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers is a comedic tour-de-force for Woodlawn, then fresh off of making Trash and Women in Revolt! for Paul Morrissey. With a memorable supporting performance from fellow Warhol Superstar Tally Brown as Mary Poppins and voice cameos from the likes of Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin, Scarecrow should’ve become a huge midnight movie sensation, but instead faded into obscurity and has sat unseen for the past 50 years. Its recent rediscovery and restoration by the Academy Film Archive is cause for celebration — and a timely reminder that trans people have always been on the screen.

SWEET MOVIE (1974)

Jon W. — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:09:52 +0000

After winning the “most virgin” contest, Miss Canada is married to a rich milk tycoon. But she quickly flees the marriage to experience the world around her, full of sweetness and anarchy. With its lewd abandon and sketch-comedy perversity, Sweet Movie became both a cult staple and exemplar of the envelope pushing of 1970s cinema.

Stars: Carole Laure, Pierre Clémenti, Anna Prucnal, Sami Frey, Jane Mallett, Roy Callender, John Vernon, Hansi Roll, Therese Schulmeister, Renate Steiger, Berndt Stein, Herbert Stumpfl, Otto Muehl, Catherine Sola, Louis Bessières, Mélanie Brévan, Fabrice Dague.

NECROPOLIS (1970)

Jon W. — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 14:58:01 +0000

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.

Director: Franco Brocani.
Writer: Franco Brocani.
Stars: Nicoletta Machiavelli, Tina Aumont, Pierre Clémenti, Paul Jabara, Carmelo Bene, Bruno Corazzari, Paolo Graziosi, Louis Waldon, Viva.
Cinematographers: Franco Lecca, Ivan Stoinov.
Composer: Gavin Bryars.

FLESH (1968)

Jon W. — Tue, 16 May 2023 11:20:18 +0000

Flesh was filmmaker Paul Morrissey’s first production for Andy Warhol. The story concerns a bisexual hustler who does tricks so that he can pay for his wife’s lover’s abortion. The film made headlines when it was confiscated by the police during one of its earliest showings in 1970. Though this event is unlikely to repeat itself, Flesh is still explicit enough to elicit gasps from even the most jaded of underground-film enthusiasts.

Director: Paul Morrissey.
Writer: Paul Morrissey.
Stars: Joe Dallesandro, Geraldine Smith, Patti D’Arbanville, Maurice Braddell, Louis Waldon, Geri Miller, Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, John Christian.
Cinematographer: Paul Morrissey.
