Up All Night With Robert Downey Sr. (Criterion)
SKU: 210000257060
Rarely do landmark works of cinema seem so... wrong. Robert Downey Sr. emerged as one of the most irreverent filmmakers of the new American underground of the early sixties, taking no prisoners in his rough-and-tumble treatises on politics, race, and consumer culture. In his most famous, the midnight-movie mainstay PUTNEY SWOPE, an advertising agency is turned on it's head when a militant African American man takes charge. Like Swope, Downey held nothing sacred. This selection of five of his most raucous and outlandish films, dating from 1964 to 1975, offers a unique mix of the hilariously abrasive and the intensely experimental. Includes BABO 73, CHAFED ELBOWS, NO MORE EXCUSES, PUTNEY SWOPE and TWO TONS OF TURQUOISE TO TAOS TONIGHT.
