Shocking Videos - A mélange ranging from Borowczyk's Théâtre de M. et Mme. Kabal (1967), Czech animator Karel Zeman's The Jester's Tale (1964), and Suzuki's unforgettable hooker-clan potboiler Gate of Flesh (1964) to the Nazi propaganda nauseator The Eternal Jew (1940), Kazuo Hara's scalding WW II cannibalism exposé The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On (1987), William Conrad's noir-madness Brainstorm (1965), Peter Watkins's The Gladiators (1969), the anonymous protest doc about returning 'Nam vets Winter Soldier (1972), films by and about the Kuchars, and—drumroll please—a five-hour work print of Apocalypse Now.
