	Images - Fernando Arrabal: Viva la Muerte and I Will Walk Like a Crazy Horse
		Arrabal's Spain is a lawless wasteland where reason and intelligence have been overthrown by drunken fascists who drive through the countryside shouting death-worshipping slogans.
		But as unforgettable as Arrabal's cry from Hell may be, the film ultimately leaves one disconnected from much of it since the visual demonomania is rarely anchored with any emotional weight.
		Arrabal may be guilty of numerous cinematic sins, but boring the viewer isn't one of them.

		Overall the films of Fernando Arrabal may not be as easy to digest for many viewers who are unfamiliar with his advent garde style of filmmaking.
		The main extra on this DVD is a eighteen minutes interviews with Fernando Arrabal in which he discusses “Panic Movement”, Alejandro Jodorowsky and he at one point removes his shoe smelling it then proclaiming “My feet smell good”.
		Fernando Arrabal’s cinema is original, beautiful, chaotic, disturbing and most of all thought provoking.

		To Fernando Arrabal I have been going it to visit with Pastor Outeiral (a pair of times), with Placid Romero and Andrés Rodriguez again, and finally with Pilar Abella.
		Arrabal (just operated) remained in the so single ceremony one hour “assis” but not in the sense that it gave to this Rimbaud word.
		All we drank and we ate patafisicamente (in honor to Arrabal nobody smoked) until the two of the dawn while bed-ridden Fernando (to fifty meters, at heart of the floor) tried to decipher the panel that gave Fo (three naked pairs to him of foot, copulando?, or saying?, or dancing?)between visionary dreams.

		It was during the war that Arrabal's father would refuse to join in Franco's military coup.
		As a result he was thrown in prison and, in '42, he would escape under mysterious circumstances, leaving the young Arrabal without a father.

	Viva La Muerte & I Will Walk Like A Crazy Horse
		A founding member of the panic movement (along with Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor), a chaotic theatre group that performed mainly in Mexico during the 1960s, Fernando Arrabal is not only an accomplished playright and author, but also a remarkable filmmaker.
		The film is one that warrants repeat viewings, as it is a lot to take in in one sitting, but for those who pay attention and give it some thought, it's a brilliant work of art that stands the test of time.
		Arrabal comes off as a genuinely strange man, with a lot of passion for what he does, and an interesting outlook on life.

	Viva la Muerte review
		Based on his autobiography Baal Babylon, Viva La Muerte is the first film directed by Fernando Arrabal, an iconoclastic and controversial multi-disciplinary artist considered a genius.
		Arrabal then multiplies the symbols, seeming to settle accounts with a rigorous catholic education.
		Fado also seems to reproach his mother for having denounced his father, and even though Arrabal was too young to have known him, what's visible here is the unquestionable frustration born of paternal absence and the impossibility of the mother for assuming the two roles.

	I Will Walk Like a Crazy Horse review
		Rather than devouring meat Arrabal prefers vegetarian food and preaches a return to the earth through the intermediary of Marvel, who grows a vegetable garden in the middle of the apartment.
		Arrabal concludes his film on an indigenous belief that says that one can absorb the spirit of a human being in an act of cannibalism.
		If Arrabal's taste for provocation is found in many scenes, those were somewhat defused by the wear of time, proving to be more grotesque and amusing now than truly shocking.

	The Films of Fernando Arrabal
		Three years after the incendiary cinematic bomb of Viva la Muerte, surrealist Fernando Arrabal returned with this more thoughtful, character driven study of nature versus society, though as usual his visuals are no less outrageous.
		Arrabal's film would probably make a good double bill with either Spirit of the Beehive or The Reflecting Skin, though the harsh nature of its content will probably limit its appeal to viewers with iron stomachs.
		The disc also includes a bizarre, 17-minute interview with Arrabal (in French with optional English subtitles), in which he punctuates his comments by holding up a chair in artistic poses, then later removing his shoe, sniffing it, and observing, "My feet smell good." The offscreen interviewer does not seem to concur, however.

		Arrabal, born in Spanish Morroco, writes in French and has lived in Paris since 1955.
		All the while, the actress serves as the honoree on a live television show akin to "This Is Your Life." Arrabal ties everything to a fairly predictable and reductive idea, that of a divalike public figure putting on a majestic front.

	TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES
		Arrabal's first directorial effort, 1970's Viva la muerte, paints a surreal portrait of the Spanish Civil War during which a young boy, Fando (Mahdi Chaouch), lives with his protective mother (Nuria Espert) whose husband, she claims, committed suicide in prison.
		Fando's status as the son of a convicted traitor elicits mockery from his classmates, but the boy's mental health deteriorates far more rapidly when the discovery of a hidden letter reveals that his mother may have actually turned his father in and initiated his tortuous demise.
		The disc also includes a bizarre, 17-minute interview with Arrabal (in French with optional English subtitles), in which he punctuates his comments by posing with an upraised chair and touting the appealing odor of his feet.

		"Viva La Muerte" is a true story, at its essence, since Fernando Arrabal lived through the civil war, and his father was, in fact, turned in by his mother.
		As Arrabal states in his otherwise incoherent interview elsewhere on the disc, "Viva La Muerte" is a "personal" film, a way to "Kiss society on the mouth" from a man used to the bitter taste of bile.
		For Arrabal, all three were hellish at once, and this is his exorcised demon.
