Disc 1
Car Cemetery (Le Cimitiére des Voitures) 1983
Combining punk rock and post-apocalyptic mayhem, Arrabal's outrageous adaptation of his infamous 1958 stage play is a gallows-humor romp in a wretched dystopia. A raucous and absurd retelling of the Christ story with thugs, murderers, pimps and punks. Car Cemetery is one of Fernando Arrabal's most rare and wanted films.
Disc 2
The Emperor of Peru (L'Empereur du Pérou) 1982
A charming and phantasmagoric children's film, The Emperor of Peru stars Mickey Rooney. Rarely seen outside of a brief theatrical run and a long out-of-print videocassette release, The Emperor of Peru returns to thrill families and art film buffs alike.
Disc 3
Farewell, Babylon! (Adieu, Babylon!) 1992
Arrabal's 6th film is based on his 1969 novel of the same title and features Leila Fischer and Spike Lee.
Borges, A Life in Poetry (Jorge Luis Borges, Una vida de Poesia) 1998
A documentary film on one of Arrabal's greatest influences, the Brazilian writer Jorge Luis Borges, featuring the last interview before his death.
Arrabal, Panik Cineast (Arrabal Cinéaste Panique) 2007
A documentary that captures the adventurous spirit and outrageous creations of Europe's most infamous surrealist, Fernando Arrabal. Featuring Alejandro Jodorowsky.
"Cult Epics has outdone themselves once again with this collection. THE EMPEROR OF PERU and CAR CEMETERY look amazing; a fact that's even more extraordinary once you take into account that both films were effectively unavailable for years. This set is highly recommended for fans of Arrabal's work or anyone who just likes good, challenging cinema. The production run on this set is limited to 2,000 copies, so if you're interested, hurry!"
