The films of Jose Mojica Marins hold a certain fascination for me. Despite the fact they're impoverished and raw, they are always unnerving. This is because Marins knows how to capture the unrelenting terror of a really memorable nightmare. He creates an alien and surreal world where evil and the supernatural always triumphs. He is also an interesting avant-garde filmmaker. He is capable of creating moments of dreamlike surrealism worthy of Bunuel. Despite the low budgets he was forced to work with, Marins persevered and got his nasty little films made. He is eccentric and unlike any other filmmaker out there. Also, his films seem to be decidedly free of overt American or European influence, unlike many other films from South America. Also, his films are deeply personal and often include nihilistic philosophy on life and death.
Because I have such an admiration for Marins, I was interested in seeing this documentary from the moment I read about it. When I was finally able to track down a copy, I was not disappointed. Seeing clips from films Marins made other than the Coffin Joe trilogy was refreshing and really made me want to seek these out. Also, the documentary provides background on Marins and some of his world views. As many have noted, this guy seems to be a follower of Nietschze. Like Ed Wood, his later day descent into pornography is depressing. The recounts towards the end are pretty depraved. Overall, anyone who is familiar with the films of Marins are advised to check this out. Hopefully it'll be available easily somehow shortly. (7/10)
