🎞️ A Week of Kino Dream Logic: Terminal Green Itinerary


πŸ—“️ Day 1: Sound, Flesh, & Psyche

"Feel your way through a fever dream of eros, identity, and magnetic tape."

πŸŽ₯ Coming Apart (1969) Start the week inside Rip Torn’s spiraling monologue-diary. One room, one mirror, infinite unraveling. Drink pairing: whiskey in a chipped coffee mug

πŸŽ₯ The Girl on a Motorcycle (1968) Marianne Faithfull as the psychedelic wanderer. Lust + leather + longing on the autobahn to nowhere. Wear: leather jacket, no plans


πŸ—“️ Day 2: Psychedelic Noir & Philosophical Flesh

"Where guilt sweats under lipstick and tape reels hiss like snakes."

πŸŽ₯ Duet for Cannibals (1969, dir. Susan Sontag) Cold intellectualism, Marxist weirdness, gender trouble, and psycho-sexual chess games. Zine note: imagine this as a Bergman-Brecht-Fassbinder lovechild.

πŸŽ₯ The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein (Jess Franco) Bird-women! Necro-wizards! Silver Frankenstein golems! One of Franco’s most fevered blends of horror, sex, and sci-fi trash poetry. For fans of: Eurotrash dream logic, comic-book pulp surrealism


πŸ—“️ Day 3: Poisoned Romance & Hallucinogenic Memory

"Love as dissociation. Recollection as rebellion."

πŸŽ₯ Dying to Know: Ram Dass & Timothy Leary A gentle crash course in consciousness, friendship, and ego death. Good midday come-down after the Franco trip.

πŸŽ₯ Tales from the Gimli Hospital (1988, Maddin) Myth-soaked, Icelandic-plague-era grotesquerie filtered through Guy Maddin’s grainy subconscious. Visual: distorted 1920s parlor meets Lynchian fever clinic


πŸ—“️ Day 4: Assassins, Identities, and Electric Cool

"Double lives, triple crosses, and the hiss of reels turning."

πŸŽ₯ Assassination (1967, Henry Silva) Euospy paranoia with sci-fi edges. Time bends, memory folds. Vibe: Alphaville meets Mission: Impossible (on expired Benzedrine).

πŸŽ₯ The Outside Man (1973, Trintignant/Scheider) Hitmen loose in 1970s L.A., shot with French eyes. Dress code: cheap suit, blank stare, payphone etiquette


πŸ—“️ Day 5: Velvet Obscura Double Feature

"The stage is a trapdoor. The mask is a mirror."

πŸŽ₯ Back to the Wall (1959, Moreau) Film noir perfection dipped in Parisian chiaroscuro and coiled femme-fatale energy. Midnight confession: Jeanne Moreau always knows more than you.

πŸŽ₯ Fear and Desire (Uncut) Kubrick's rawest, most dreamlike experiment. Existential dread staged like theater-of-the-absurd war. Music cue: Crumbling piano chords over marching boots


πŸ—“️ Day 6: Unreliable Narrators & Memory Games

"No one is who they say. The camera never blinks."

πŸŽ₯ Coming Apart (2nd watch encouraged) You’ll see different cracks this time.

πŸŽ₯ Duet for Cannibals (rewatch with notes) Try watching while reading Sontag’s Against Interpretation. Total brainfire.


πŸ—“️ Day 7: Let the Corpses Tan + Stockhausen Night

"Sound dissolves image. Gold melts into blood."

πŸŽ₯ Let the Corpses Tan (2017) Giallo exploded into pure aesthetic violence. What to expect: bullet-time by way of 1970s perfume ad

πŸŽ₯ Licht: Stockhausen’s Legacy End the week with structured madness and audio transcendence. Optional ritual: close your eyes and surrender
