Radiance Films explores oppression and repression with VIVA LA MUERTE! (review)

After a young boy discovers his mother's role in his partisan father's arrest and disappearance, he experiences a stream of surreal visions in which he tries to find out what happened to his father and his mother's true nature in the feature debut of Fernando Arrabal - founder the Panic Movement and colleague of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor - based on his autobiographical novel "Baal Babylone".
