Rarely do landmark works of cinema seem so . . . wrong. Robert Downey Sr. emerged
as one of the most irreverent filmmakers of the New York underground of
the earIy sixties, taking no prisoners in his rough-and-tumbIe treatises on poIitics,
race, and consumer cuIture. ln his most famous, the midnight-movie mainstay
Putney Swope, an advertising agency is turned on its head when a miIitant bIack man takes over. Like Swope, Downey held nothing sacred. Presented here are five of his most raucous and outIandish films, dating from 1964 to 1975, each a unique mix of the hiIariousIy crude and the fiercely experimentaI.
Babo 73
AlI poIitics is loco in Downey's wild-mannered 16 mm comedy debut, starring Taylor Mead as Studsbury, the whiny president of the United Status.
Chafed Elbows
This underground hit about an incestuous layabout's encounters with reprobates and weirdos in a dereIict downtown New York put the director on the map.
No More Excuses
This satire of the sexual revoIution and so much more jumps form on-the-street interviews with real-life swingin' singles to absurd comic sketches about time traveI and poIitical assassination.
Putney Swope
Downey's preeminent cuIt cIassic, about race and truth in advertising, remain a potent piece of poIitical incorrectness.
Two Tons Of Turquoise To Taos Tonight
EIsie Downey, Robert's wife at the time, pIays every femaIe role in this deIirious cascade of inexpIicabIe vignettes and jokes, a trippy tribute to incivility. |
