Viva La Muerte

This is an extremely violent, gory and surreal meditation on the life of a young lad during the time of the Spanish Civil War, as he attempts to find out what happened to his missing father. It turns out that his mother, devout in her loyalty to the Falange, has turned him in as a leftist. The grotesquery includes a deeply Oedipal scene with the boy, a bull and his mother. Not for the faint of heart, this film achieved cult status in New York City shortly after its release.
