The LA beatsmith’s debut feature film reportedly caused mass walkouts at the Sundance Film Festival. Watch the trailer here.
Flying Lotus, aka Los Angeles beatmaker Steve Ellison, has won critical acclaim with his own woozy future hip-hop albums, not to mention the excellent records he releases on his Brainfeeder imprint.
But Ellison has also made a foray into moving image, launching his own production company Brainfeeder Films – and his debut feature film Kuso, has shocked critics. One publication, The Verge, called the film “the grossest movie ever made”.
“Some gross-out films are one-note, but Kuso finds new ways to test viewers’ fortitude,” writes Chris Plante, adding that a number of audience members walked out throughout the screening at the Sundance Film Festival. Warning: the review features copious spoilers, which are not for the faint-hearted.
The film is yet to get an official UK release date, but you can watch the trailer here.
