Viva La Muerte Opening

[FeralChildBuff]

why is artwork age-restricted?

[TheSmutchypuss]

@FeralChildBuff because anything can be art. porn is art. technically. i don't agree with it but that is what it is. point is, anything with a nipple slip is either porn or art. i'm quite certain folks have yanked one to this. it's quite ridiculous this is age restricted.

[FeralChildBuff]

@TheSmutchypuss I'll still never understand how nips and geni's which are natural parts of a healthy body are so taboo when graphic violence is not only widely available but in many cases, championed as the basis of masculinity, patriotism and justice. but then again, this artwork is a bit violent, too but it's interestingly so.

Cette musique trotte depuis longtemps dans ma tête; J(ai vu le film il y a environ 38 ans dans un petit cinéma près de la Place Monge.

[CSGraves]

Had this music stuck in my head all day... and thanks for the nightmares, Roland Topor!

[jamonesalvapor]

Roland Topor y Fernando Arrabal, dos genios enormes. Muy recomendable la aportación del primero en los diseños del film de animación "Planeta Salvaje" y "Marquis" :)

[bolivarsoyyo]

Que viva hp

[meliozin]

dibujos de una mente obsesionada con la muerte!! una mente demasiado enferma!!

[timpa666]

[bambamradikal]

timp et tamp et tomp et timp

[desorden7]

is nice music, drawing are ugly

[desorden7]

esta chila la rola, pero los dibujos no tienen sentido mierda

[dakrua2010]

@desorden7 tha fuck u talking about???

[panicoant666]

una pelicula fantastica, Fernando Arrabal siempre sera un maestro de maestros

[miandore]

Una demostración de que las mentes enfermas abundan, para colmo una voz infantil de fondo. Mierda violenta sin razón alguna sin motivo ni sentido, violencia gratuita y unos dibujos de mierda

[DeathMeds]

Hell. You die by horrible terrifying means.

Wake up moments later after having a nightmare only to be murdered in unimaginably painful ways again.

Repeat... Fuck hell

[mokenamoke]

I do not like the movie but I love the song. This beautiful song is not on its place in such a movie. The song deserved a better fate. Somebody knows why they put a Danish song in a movie performing in Spain ?

[MrRedrum91]

Capolavoro

[1985alex]

Most of it is just gibberish. There is actually only three sentences that can be translated from danish to english:

Sjove lyde - Funny sounds

Vil du med mig ud på landet? - Do you wanna come with me to the country?

Sikke noget tosseri - What silliness

[GabeTheCrusher]

how charming! (:

[butttterscotch]

AMOAMOAMOAMOAMOAMOAMOAMOAMOAMO­AMOAMOAMOAMO ESSA MÚSICA

[poojihpig]

[ViceSaw]

the drawnings looks like the kubin's ones

[ViceSaw]

the drawnings looks like the kubin's drawnings

[Bizarronumber4]

The Australian DVD release has the opening credits at the END of the movie! I thought that this was the way it was meant to be until I read a few articles on this brilliant film. I don't know how Siren (the Aus. dvd company ) did this mix-up.

I really love Roland Topor's Boschian artwork.

[nalajepper]

English: Play with an ecco! Danish: Ekkoleg! Its a DANISH song for children!!!

[CatchMeInADream]

Yeah, I know it's Danish, that's why I'm trying to find a translation. I don't speak Danish.

[CatchMeInADream]

Does anyone have an English translation for this song?

[LowDefLove]

supremely fantastic!

[fabiogbg]

Great movie, disturbed movie...

[willZhatesU]

There has to be a name for that kind of artwork.. the morbid drawings of torture.. can someone tell me where i can find more? thanx

[d3a]

it belongs to an art movement called "Panic Movement" started by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Fernando Arrabal and Roland Topor

[ZarathrustaTate]

it's form the panic art movement... Arrabal draw them himself... you can check Roland Topor for more of the same movement or even Jodorowsky

[TheMoogleMaster]

Is this movie on DVD?

[christianburnbury]

fantastico.

[ZAGUZA]

何だか、絵柄といい、作風といい、諸星大二郎先生にクリソツだ。­

[pooonk]

Music: "Ekkoleg " by Grethe Agatz.

[bizarrejapan]

brilliant movie, arrabal and topor, doesn't get better than this!

[upinrags]

Jodorowsky !

[sillywillyisgoodforu]

And they still don't know what S.W.I.G.F.U means. When it's written right all over the screen. Who the hell is silly willy? I recommend my very trippy movie it is called, "Viva What...Viva What..Viva LA MUERTE!!!!!!"

[fernandoiscrazy]

Poetic, surreal, disturbing, beautiful, honest, musical and hilarious! Topor's drawings make sense in the movie. Yeah it may be a drawing of a cauldron with people getting fire cooked while someone takes a shit on their face but it makes sense in the movie! Fernando Arrabal is....crazy!

[hbh2046]

creepy.

[humanmoron]

looks promising. I'm gonna download this. man I really am a misanthrope lol

[HerrMiesmuschel34]

Wowo Krasses gemälde!hihi

[YoungOffender82]

what kind of movie is this ?

[Universalimperator]

Its a movie about the spanish facists.

[radikaliglesias]

No, it's a movie about the end of spanish civil war and after.

[mmpresti]

Arrabal, in an interview, said of this song that it has no words, its onomotopeia, recorded from random children.

[nalajepper]

OK i have foundt out that it is a danish song for children.the girl/woman who sings has just díed 91 years olde. and its from the year 1930.

[nalajepper]

It sounds like she is singing "hear a ecco,funny sounds,do you want to go out on the contryside with me,it is crasyness"

[nalajepper]

Is the girl singing in partly danish? i am from denmark and it sounds like it. Pleas help!

[soc478]

eso, viva la muerte!!

[DasMagi]

That's definitely one of the best movies out of this genre.

[titussenlair]

Cherche les paroles exactes de cette chanson ( Ekoleg , je crois) et si possible leur traduction en Français ou en anglais

Merci

Francois

[alfiees]

In Spain we used that song in a In Spain we used that song in a diaper´s TV spot.

[Pakeha7]

what is the name of the song?

[jaimenso]

the songs name is "Ekkoleg"

[equesto36]

amazing. I have the song's italian translation, I can try to translate it in english. tomorrow.

[MorneLibido]

Some of the best music put to film ever. The film's great and Topor's a great illustrator.

[Rotanimret4ever]

Thx my VHS has some misstakes in the opening.

Anyone knows who made the pictures?

[BenCtree]

I believe the pictures are by the French illustrator Roland Torpor.

[labmue]

roland topor

[BenCtree]

Well I've seen it spelled both ways, but then online articles do have dubious spelling.

[BenCtree]

And after watching the clip again, it seems that the artist himself spells his name "Topor", do excuse me.

[labmue]

ye, signator

[zedocaixao]

Tnakyou. but please put more images of this movie

[prunepower]

Weird. The song is eeeir. Does anyone know the words in English?

[spuzzlightyear]

Ohhhh fuck, this opening fucked me up when I saw it a number of years ago. I still have the song in my head...

[shaldo]

YES! Me too!

The tune, but for the lyrics, I thought the children were singing

"Viva La Muerte, Viva La Muerte ... la la la, la la la la"
