One of them is Paul Morissey's "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein", the missing
link between "Death in Venice" and "The Evil Dead", in which Udo Kier as
Frankenstein explains his particularly messy behaviour during one scene as
part of his research project (strong German accent): "To know life, Otto,
you've got to fuck death in the gall bladder." A cornerstone of cinematic
art and highly recommended for those who have always wondered what "The
Courier's Tragedy" would actually look like on stage. In order to appreciate
the movie in its full gory glory one needs to watch the 3-D version on the
big screen, though. VCR won't do.
