We can’t believe we’re saying it—Spectacle’s beloved purveyor of scum-at-large (MOD FUCK EXPLOSION, TERMINAL USA) is headed back to the theater with his first new work in over a decade. We’re thrilled to welcome a true original in person for the New York premiere of NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION, a fully-realized, years in the making DIY opus that concludes Moritsugu’s 29-years of collaboration with his ex-partner, the artist Amy Davis.
Davis stars alongside eternal west coast punk heartthrob James Duval as a duo of warring conceptual artists in a dystopian future plagued by the cyberdrug “Skullfuck.” Shot over a period of two weeks in Marfa, Texas and Sante Fe, New Mexico in a collage of HD and miniDV, NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION is a rapturously colorful satire, full of the filmmaker’s unmistakable capability for endless invention, and a dagger-like salute to the stupidity of it all.
The director describes the film as “a riff on the absurdity of art, warfare of people, material control/secular terror, addictions of every genre, and self-actualization thru internal Jungian conflict,” or more succinctly, “a punk rock BLADE RUNNER for artists.”
“Flash-and-trash attitude… all the ingredients of good revolutionary cinema.”
–New York Post
“Moritsugu is a true visionary who knows how to meld images and sound.”
–Los Angeles Times
