Blonde Cobra

It is just a mess, I don't know how else one can describe it.


Existential philosophy in small portions, gibberish about politics, tons of sexual stuff, absurd common to avant-garde movie's of that time, etc... its just weird,but not empty. Filming could've been better made for sure

waste of my damn time

waste of my damn time

Yeah, but no... 😅

Ken Jacob is a legend of the Underground New York film scene and Blonde Cobra is considered his Avant Guard masterpiece.
It consists of documentary style footage of queer icon Jack Smith (himself an experimental filmaker), with long autobiographical monolgues (often accompanied by a purely black screen) recounting Smith's childhood experiences, rambling and at times incomprehensible skits about nuns partaking in bouts of lesbianism and several improvised ditties including a joyous ode to necrophillia.

Shocking for it's time but also displaying significant naughty school boy energy in it's delight in causing offence! Your mileage will vary and it all hinges on how engaging you find Smith. I LOL'ed a few times but the act soon wore thin.

Not to be confused with Limp Bizkit's 2011 Nu Metal comeback album 'Gold Cobra'. Although there are some similarities as it was at times as painful as watching late era Fred Durst. 😬

Or any era Fred Durst for that matter...

(slowly edges my 'Three Dollar Bill Y'all' and 'Significant Other' compact disc further under the bed)

bizarre to an almost obnoxious point

Una aburrida, aunque necesaria experiencia.

Obra maestra para unos, auténtica bazofia para otros... pero sin duda una prueba intachable de lo controversial que es el cine experimental.

Me ha impactado lo diferente que es esto. Un mediometraje, que creo que nos adentra en la mente de una persona loca a rabiar de una manera algo singular. Lo que hace a esto único, es su forma de ser tan fuera de lo común, y el dolor de cabeza que te puede provocar si no estás acostumbrado al cine bizarro.

35 minutos es lo que necesita para quedarse durante un buen rato en mi mente.

Esto está en el libro de 1001 películas que ver antes de morir, y no estoy seguro si es una joya incomprendida, o algo malo a rabiar.

Estoy tan confuso como vosotros.
