L for Leisure

Colorado, 1893: a trio of New York city slickers — a hippy-dippy mystic, a French geologist, and a foppish artist — wander the desert in search of the relaxing waters of the hot springs, along the way encountering from-the-future time travelers, kinky sex ghosts, spirit cats, and cowboys.

On a hunt for the Fountain of Youth, three teenagers in '80s Honduras buy drugs, harm nature and have magical encounters. Long silent jungle sequences, a meditation on Mayan Archaeology and a heavy TV teen vibe make Blondes in the Jungle at once an absurd comedy and a serious film about the possibility of spiritual growth in a world of instant gratification.

In this absurdist homage to '90s basic cable TV thrillers, two hot INTERPOL agents uncover an international, interspecies mystery.

Life's a beach.

Like two snakes chasing each other’s tails, time wriggles forward and backwards in Lev Kalman and Whitney Horn’s surrealist satire. In 2001, a pair of young investigators wander a mansion that is haunted by both its eastern relics and their western collector. Meanwhile, in the present day, they are watched by The Therapists, two Lululemon-clad researchers following metaphysical wellness rituals. A mysterious lo-fi kaleidoscope, with cameos by Condoleezza Rice, Shah Jahan, and Brendan Fraser.

1920s New York through the cloudy lens of exuberant, idiosyncratic revisionism -- the Beautiful and Damned, before they knew about that second part.
