Blonde Death
Presented by Scarecrow Video & Bleeding Skull!
FREE admission for Grand Illusion Cinema members and Scarecrow Video $50 level members.
Shot for $2000 by James Dillinger aka James Robert Baker, a playwright-novelist-anarchist who was once described as the worlds angriest gay man, Blonde Death is a major triumph in the shot-on-video universe. This movie wages war on suburban America, attacking the concepts of family and love with murderous wit. Blonde Death draws possible dismissive comparisons to early John Waters, but its as strong as Waters best. At the age of 51, Baker chose to end his life via carbon monoxide poisoning in his garage (exactly how two of his lead characters perish in Blonde Death). This was his supreme bird-flip to the world. Though we wish he could be alive to experience this praise of his work, the brilliant and overlooked James Robert Baker to his credit wouldnt care.
