SLASHER MONTH: Moon In Scorpio (1986)
Sometimes, Gary Graver was making movies with Orson Welles. Other times, he was making ultra low budget films that were originally about soldiers burning down a temple to a snake goddess and being hunted years later by a Vietnamese child all grown up.

A Dadaist post-Cubist art film conceived, written and co-directed by Fernand Léger in collaboration with the filmmaker Dudley Murphy with cinematographic input from Man Ray, Balley Mecanique is as gorgeous and groundbreaking today as it was nearly a hundred years ago.
