It is rather difficult especially at the beginning but after a while particularly towards the last half hour it becomes quite extraordinary. Clearly this is an experimental film and I was very interested in the late sixties. The early Warhol films like Sleep (1963/4) Blow Job (1964) and even Empire (1964) were thrilling but sometimes boring and silent and the later ones like Chelsea Girls (1965/6) and Bike Boy (1967) become much more easy to find enjoyable. Mike Snow's, Wavelength (1967) 45 minutes as a single zoom shot taken unmoving but progresses from a long one and gradually until there is a final section of a photograph at the end of the room. I am reminded of David Lynch's, Eraserhead (1977) when watching this splendid film of Ivan Zulueta. He has made several shorts but this being his only full-length movie. Eusebio Poncela starred and great in this one has made several films, The Cannibal Man (1972) and Almodovar's early one Matador (1986). The lovely Cecilia Roth her first major role was this film and then she made many other films but especially those of Almodovar before moving back to Argentina and making many more films and TV. Arrebato or also known as 'Rapture' and I seem to have forgotten to mention the sex the drugs the 8mm and the horror.
