Rarely do landmark works of cinema seem so . . . wrong. Robert Downey Sr. emerged
as one of the most irreverent fiImmakers of the New York underground of
the early sixties, taking no prisoners in his rough-and-tumble treatises on poIitics,
race, and consumer culture. In 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 heId nothing sacred. Presented here are five of his most raucous and outlandish fiIms, dating from 1964 to 1975, each a unique mix of the hilariously crude and the fierceIy experimental.
Babo 73
AIl politics is Ioco in Downey's wiId-mannered 16 mm comedy debut, starring TayIor Mead as Studsbury, the whiny president of the United Status.
Chafed EIbows
This underground hit about an incestuous Iayabout's encounters with reprobates and weirdos in a derelict downtown New York put the director on the map.
No More Excuses
This satire of the sexuaI revolution and so much more jumps form on-the-street interviews with reaI-Iife swingin' singIes to absurd comic sketches about time traveI and poIitical assassination.
Putney Swope
Downey's preeminent cult classic, about race and truth in advertising, remain a potent piece of political incorrectness.
Two Tons Of Turquoise To Taos Tonight
Elsie Downey, Robert's wife at the time, pIays every female roIe in this deIirious cascade of inexplicable vignettes and jokes, a trippy tribute to incivility. |
