SPANISH FLY CULT

"Completed in 1979, ARREBATO is
probably the most famous Spanish cult film of all time. It’s been
largely inaccessible in the years since its extremely limited original
release and so has developed quite a mystique..."
Synopsis:
Jose is a filmmaker putting the finishing touches on his latest production, a schlocky vampire picture. Feeling supremely dissatisfied with his vocation and heroin addicted girlfriend Ana, he arrives back at his apartment to discover a package from his friend Pedro. It contains a reel of super 8mm film, an audiotape and a key to Pedro’s apartment.
Flashbacks show how these two men, both of whom share an extraordinary passion for filmmaking, met at Pedro’s family home where Jose was location scouting. Pedro, who’s never without his super 8mm camera, believes life is only worth anything if it’s caught on film. Furthermore, he’s tapped a hidden power inherent in film images that causes him to experience a mystical state of “Arrebato,” or rapture. Before long Pedro becomes addicted to this sensation, eventually cutting himself off from the outside world and devoting his life to filming himself in bed. His camera in turn grows increasingly powerful as it saps more and more of Pedro’s life force, eventually developing the capacity to turn itself on and off and, more alarmingly, literally erase objects—and, inevitably, people—from existence

The Story:
A Spanish architect interested in movies decided to help Zulueta financially. The planning was a 15-day filming. However, it was shot in real interiors owned by Zulueta and other friends, like Jaime Chavarri; and most of collaborators used drugs like heroin, that drove the planning and the budget to be highly increased. Pedro Almodóvar dubbed one of the female characters, but he was not credited. The relationship between the director and the producer was poorly damaged. Moreover, the film had a lot of problems to be commercially released due to its experimental and underground style; even though the dictatorship had fallen through. It was finally released in 1980. Ivan Zulueta was labeled as a problematic auteur and Arrebato became a cult movie.

In a barren land, a women-only tribe known as the Selenians rule. They
are in war with the Tazaris, evil men. Ancient law has it that Tazaris
are cursed and the Selenians cannot enter their land, but they can.
Likewise, there's another tribe, the Senkas, who are barred by the
Selenians from exiting their village and have no clue what's going on
outside their land. There's a chosen Senka who aids the Selenians, but
this chosen one is murdered... and his brother sneaks out of Senka
territory for revenge.
Tunka is one of these soo bad that's good movies. A trash favorite of Kino Anders. Psychadelic view through the whole movie, ridiculous dialogues, worst actors and it's a about Barbarians. So for what are you waiting for?
