Fresh off a Grammy nod for his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on “Never Catch Me,”
eccentric producer Flying Lotus is back with another striking set of
visuals. He’s soundtracked the new Eddie Alcazar-directed short film FUCKKKYOUUU,
which finally surfaces online today after its premiere at several film
festivals last year, in conjunction with its screening at Sundance Film
Festival today.
The short is wonderfully weird, dark, and disjointed. Shot in
black-and-white, Alcazar’s use of light and shadow is impeccable,
framing a twisted time-traveling love story. It opens with an excerpt
from Silvia Plath, then moves to a haunting image of a glowing substance
injected intravenously into an alien-like figure’s arm, lingering shots
of naked bodies kissing while floating in the air (hence the NSFW), and
a horrific, gory image of a tree sprouting its roots through the
alien-like life form while laying on the ground. Flying Lotus’ score
accentuates these beautiful, brutal images with a more traditional film
score featuring his off-kilter aesthetic and eerie cinematic sweeps. The
mix darts around your ears while listening through a pair of
headphones, oscillating from left to right like it’s moving through your
head. This is an evocative film in every aspect.
