Degenerate Cinema, the first in a series.

Here’s a real find courtesy of the whacked-out geniuses at Soiled Sinema: Mother’s Meat & Freud’s Flesh, written, directed, and starring Russian-Canadian Demetri Estdelacropolis. This 1984 assault on good taste reminds me of the anarchic films of The Kuchar Brothers, Jack Smith and John Waters - and it holds its own against those masters of mayhem.

Soiled Cinema’s Ty E describes Estdelacropolis’s brilliant freak fest thusly:

Mother’s Meat & Freud’s Flesh is a magnificent nonlinear mess that is comprised of eccentric slapdash scenes that mostly revolve around sexual deviancy, humorous ‘soul-searching’ existential isolationism, and pathetic personal crises. Despite its lack of plot, the film moves along quite fluidly and never wavers in the realm of vulgar artistic pretense, nor pseudo-intellectual banality, but it does feature a wealth of scatological imagery and themes, as well as a sordid buffet of bittersweet food-for-thought. Mother’s Meat & Freud’s Flesh is further accentuated by an exquisite soundtrack by the German New Wave group Trio. In both sight and sound, the film is ultimately a foremost work of avant-garde cinematic debauchery that features a number of quotable lines and ever-present replay value. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, it is nearly impossible to find a copy of Mother’s Meat & Freud’s Flesh on the internet, let alone in dvd form.

Well, Mother’s Meat & Freud’s Flesh is now available on the Internet so please take the time to enjoy this twisted mindfucker.
