The Future. The Canadian Academy for Erotic Inquiry is investigating the theories of parapsychologist Luther Stringfellow. Seven young adults submit to a form of brain surgery which removes their power of speech and increases their potential for telepathic communication.

An unseen group of students observes the results and as the experiment progresses further, Stringfellow's theories are borne out.

Later, aphrodisiacs and various frugs are introduced into the subjects' diet in order to expose an inherent 'polymorphous perversity'. Finally, the subject are isolated from each other with provokes a couple of suicides.

This first film of David Cronenberg was made when he was twenty-six and shot on the campus of the University of Toronto. Although created in a documentary style, the film shows birth of some of his cold, clinical and dark style trademarks.

A couples car breaks down on dark rainy night in the countryside and the two seek shelter in a nearby house. After knocking on the door they are welcomed as guests by the elderly owner who says she had been expecting them for dinner.

INDUSTRIAL SYMPHONY No. 1: The Dream of the Broken Hearted (1989)

Directed by David Lynch

Performance Filmed at

THE BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC OPERA HOUSE

In 1989, the Brooklyn Academy of Music approached David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti to create a special performance to open their New Wave Music Festival.

Taking the title from a collection of his works produced while he was at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Lynch and Badalamenti worked Julee Cruise's music together with various imagery to produce a unique concert performance.

To open the piece, Lynch shot a new film sequence of a phone conversation between a guy and girl breaking up, featuring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern with whom he was currently shooting Wild At Heart. From there, the dreamself of the heartbroken woman (Julee Cruise) floats through the air over an industrial wasteland singing ballads of love.

THE FIVE DAYS OF MILAN (1973)

Directed by Dario Argento

Starring

Adriano Celentano, Enzo Cerusico, Marilu Tolo, Luisa De Santis, Glauco Onorato, Carla Tato, Sergio Graziani, Germano Altomanni, Salvatore Baccaro, Loredana Martinez, Guglielmo Bardella

This super rare film is Dario Argento’s only deviation from the giallo genre. Argento wanted to do something different after completing his Animal trilogy so he made this period piece that takes place during the Italian Revolution of 1848.

The production shares many traits with Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dynamite and Argento’s work on the excellent Once Upon a Time in the West played a big part in the making this movie. It is a very unique film and a must have for all Argento fanatics.
