RE: organ [gruesome japanese film]
was Mike Patton and Merzbow's "Maldoror" record (IPC-003) inspired by that film ???
===== Original Message From "Darti Bastamai" <deadlypen@hotmail.com> ===== Speaking of gruesome films, has anyone seen Maldoror. I remeber seeing an ad for it in Fortean Times. It was supposed to be showing in a few places in europe. Filmmakers got together and made different scenes from the book, putting them all together. I want to see this, but don't know if it has or will see any other releases besides these few cinemas. Any input etc?

I saw organ last night on dvd, I have never explored any films relating to zorns fabled interest in japanese underground culture. I found this movie to be vile and pretty disturbing, but at the same time I became desensitized to the violence and was captivated by the story line [at least trying to figure out what was going on]
here is a brief descript from netflix Organ (1996) Starring: Kei Fujiwara, Kimihiko Hasegawa Director: Kei Fujiwara
Tokyo cops investigate the black market in human organs, only to find themselves on the wrong end of the surgeon's knife! Director Kei Fujiwara's disturbing horror film ignited a wave of controversy in its native Japan. Organ -- which may feature the most graphic depictions of vivisection in cinematic history -- was subsequently censored, though the full version has been restored for release on DVD.

I believe the album was inspired by the book, which the movie is based on. I'm curious to find out out about this movie version. Sounds interesting. I always wonder how that would be done.

Isadore Ducasse or the Comte de Lautréamont, Les Chants du Maldoror. Originally published in 1869, you'll probably find it in the poetry section even though it's all in prose and reads like a novel. Lautréamont was one of the darlings of the French avantgarde from the surrealists through the 68ers, and this book has the same quaint depraved old-world charm of some of Sade's work but without the sex. -- Caleb Deupree cdeupree@erinet.com

This might be a product of me being dumbed down by the media, but I found it an arduous read that I had to break up into easily digested pieces. You definitely have to read it several times to get it, much like you have to watch a surreal (or surreal type) film several times to discern meaning. It is beautifully written, despite the shocking/outrageous subject matter. The style almost acts as a buffer, at least to my modern sensibilities. It's an experience well worth having, though I wouldn't consider it one of my favorite books. Zach
