Arrebato
An obsessive filmmaker descends into madness, in this Spanish cult masterpiece from one of Pedro Almodóvar's early associates, Iván Zulueta.
Director: Iván Zulueta
Overview
Struggling horror film director José returns to his Madrid apartment one day to find his ex-girlfriend Ana, passed out in his bed, and a parcel from an old acquaintance, Pedro. The package contains a door key, a cassette tape, and a Super-8 film reel. As José watches the film and listens to Pedro’s narration, he is seduced into a world of strange experiments with drugs, sex and home videos.
Iván Zulueta’s 70s Spanish cult horror, made just four years after Franco’s death, embraces new freedoms around sex, drugs and queerness, to explore the obsessive allure of filmmaking through a surreal and haunting lens. Zulueta emerged from same Madrid filmmaking scene as Pedro Almodóvar, who was an early collaborator and provided some uncredited voice work on the film. Arrebato would be Zulueta's only completed feature.
