Sundance: New Trailer For Flying Lotus’ Debut Feature ‘Kuso’ Will Melt Your Brain

Flying Lotus is already a wildly creative musical talent, bending electronic music (and more) to his will across albums like Cosmogramma, Until The Quiet Comes, and You’re Dead! So it would only follow that his foray into feature filmmaking with “Kuso” wold be equally adventurous.

Gearing up to make its Sundance Film Festival premiere, the trailer for the movie might leave you a little dazed, offering little on plot and plenty on mindbending visuals. Here’s the official synopsis:

Broadcasted through a makeshift network of discarded televisions, this story is tangled up in the aftermath of Los Angeles’s worst earthquake nightmare. Travel between screens and aftershocks into the twisted lives of the survived.

Welcome to the weird and wild mind of filmmaker Steven Ellison. Already acclaimed for his expansive psychedelic albums as musician Flying Lotus, Ellison steps behind the camera to direct this mind-altering freakshow of a first feature, co-written with David Firth and Zach Fox. Their unbridled imaginations plunge the audience into a magical mix of filth-covered fables and hypnotic animations to reveal a film rotting from the inside out. This outrageous fever dream counts influences all the way from David Cronenberg to The Ren & Stimpy Show and features performances from comedians Hannibal Buress and Tim Heidecker. From its jaw-dropping imagery to its stomach-churning special effects, Kuso is the kind of film you’ll never be able to un-see.

Hannibal Buress and Tim Heidecker are among the actors stopping by, while the soundtrack will feature Aphex Twin, Kamasi Washington, Busdriver, Thundercat and more. “Kuso” will have its first screening in Park City tomorrow night as part of the Midnight lineup (naturally). [FACT]
