"Arrebato"
(Iván Zulueta, 1979, 115 min, Spain, Spanish with English subtitles, Color, DCP)

Brand-new 4k restoration of this legendary Spanish counterculture classic, virtually unknown in the U.S. until now. This sole feature by Iván Zulueta focuses on a heroin-addicted horror movie director who one day receives a strange package from an old acquaintance: a Super-8 film, an audiotape, and a door key. What follows is a mind-bending experiment in time, space, and sexuality, as the pair chase a high more potent than any drug - cinema.

"Easily the most mind-blowing revival of this or nearly any other year." -- Screen Slate

"David Lynch, but less scary and more pop... [Arrebato] still shakes with force...an absolute modern classic."
-- Pedro Almodóvar
