Good evening! Only one review tonight (not getting enough sleep!) Last night's Monterey Pop screening for Criterion was a successful and fun evening, with an appreciative crowd enjoying the feature projected on a big screen and applauding where they always did, for Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Ravi Shankar. Savant had a good time introducing the show, and meeting some of the Criterion and Home Vision people, in person!

Cult Epics' ¡Viva la muerte! is of limited appeal, but is an historically significant shock political art film about Fascist Spain, a surreal film from the poetic gamester Fernando Arrabal. Disturbing and sometimes disgusting, it can only be described as a cinematic scream against political oppression -and complacent comfort.

Savant just got in his new batch of hot titles (hot to Savant that is) and hopes to get back on a more normal schedule soon ... thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
