Outrageous, absurdist, grotesque! Often hilarious, always stylish, and utterly unpredictable, the films of Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia are an exhilarating shock to the cinematic system.
Produced by legendary provocateur Pedro Almodovar, de la Iglesia''''s debut feature Accion Mutante is a violent sci-fi black comedy set in a post-apocalyptic world where attractive people hold all the power and a terrorist group, who see themselves as mutants, take arms to rid the world of their superficial oppressors. With his second feature, The Day of the Beast (El dia de la bestia) de la Iglesia delivered one of the greatest horror comedies of all time as a Catholic priest joins forces with a heavy metal fan, and the host of a popular occult TV show to kill the Antichrist on Christmas Eve.
A critical and commercial success around the world, The Day of the Beast paved the way for gonzo action-crime-horror Perdita Durango (aka Dance with the Devil), a Spanish-US-Mexican co-production based on a novel by Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart). Starring Rosie Perez (Do the Right Thing), a then little-known Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) and James Gandolfini (The Sopranos), Perdita Durango is a twisted tale of love, guns, drugs, voodoo ceremonies, and refrigerated foetuses'<<'
Presented on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with a wealth of new and archival extras, Arrow Video welcomes you to the delirious, diabolical and demented world of Alex de la Iglesia. Not for the faint of heart!
