La Opera del Mondongo

A tale of irony of the everyday business of supermarket shopping. In this parody of blue detergents, soap squirts, blood dripping from bags of meat, plastic brushes, appearances of Frida Kahlo and rolls of toilet paper Rita confronts the demons that are part of her pink and complex feminine world.

An explosion of Delilah myth. A biblical super-spectacular in the Bizet-De Mille grand opera tradition, with torrid ballet sequence.

On Love, Sex, Violence, War and Tchaikowsky. "The filmmaker uses the objects of painter Salcedo to poke gentle and savage fun at society and its follies... a continuous mad charade!" -- Tom Chomont. On Arocha: "I know of no films more uncompromising in grotesquerie of burlesque, in gigantism of overstatement, than the comedies of Arocha. His actors are possessed to frenzy with their roles, filled to bursting with their identities; they hypertrophy into fantastic growths, revealing comic flaws enormous, monstrous enough to swallow whole the old familiar characters of Samson, Traviata, and Dracula, and even to make the best of us laugh." -- Ken Kelman.

Nostalgic old postcards in a not so nostalgic bawdy collage birthday present for the star of MOTHERLOVE.

New York in the 60s. Two Colombian artists meet and make a super 8 film, cross-dressing as Garbo in La Traviata.
