Nightdreams (1981, Francis Delia)

Ok, so this is most likely going to be the greatest amount of screenshots for a film I ever do in a review....the review follows at the end of all the photos.

















































































































If Kubrick did In the Realm of the Senses:

I think my summary pretty much, well, sums this one up; close to being a masterpiece, this one is, here are only SOME of the highlights: (it was co-written by Jerry Stahl, in the 80s, so if you're NOT expecting something like a heroin nightmare, you're in for a surprise):

- cast names
- wall of voodoo covering ring of fire while 3 women engage in some more adult orientated Cowgirl activities
- a group of 4 men smoking a hookah pipe that leads to a woman's "baby area"
- the "soundtracks" in various scenes
the breathy laughlike "ho ho ho ho"s in the first scene
the severely bizarre incomprehensible mumbling in the Arab scene

- the main character of the film brings a statute to life by sensually rubbing his groin o his groin proceeds to turn into a baby

- the dialogue

- the main character goes down on a black dude, dressed up in a Cream of Wheat box, while Old Man River plays; then after a few minutes, a toasted piece of wonderbread, wearing sunglasses, joins in; snapping away and jiving those cool daddy-o hips.

- The soundtrack in general; it's like something Zorn would have submitted to a porn film.

- Apparently Satan is Chinese, and is violently bitter over the fact that he doesn't receive "checks for $5 20,000 times a day."

- The sound in the film was monitored by, you got it, Russel L. Whitemeat.

Seek it out, watch it; you'll either thank me or want to kick me in the face.

Rating: 9/10
