In the Shadow of the Blue Rascal
Pierre Clémenti, 1986, France, 81 min
In Necrocity, 300 kilos of heroin are missing, the police jump to action. Here, the state is merely a means to efficiently impose cruel police brutality and arbitraty violence, and an underground of club-goers indulge in drugs, parties, and sex. A murderer is on the loose in this dystopian future city, and crime is about to rise to a fever pitch. Shades of Kenneth Anger and Alphaville pervade Pierre Clementi’s wild, hypnotic, and visually overpowering IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUE RASCAL, a monument of Parisian Underground Cinema.
