Utterly absurd and committed to said absurdity. Must bee seen to bee beelieved.

The Oily Maniac 1976
Not to be confused with "Maniac" starring Joe Spinell who is also oily. Oily Maniac doesn't quite live up to what one might hope for given the films title, plot, and poster, but it's still a very fun Shaw Brothers offering. The studio has produced far better films, this one is a little sloppy in every regard, but I'd still recommend it to anyone who would watch a film called Oily Maniac in the first place. My favourite moments in the film involve Oily Maniac essentially parkouring around town. Also this is the best movie I've ever seen that takes place in a coconut oil factory.

Din of Celestial Birds 2006
Din of Celestial Birds is a nightmarish but aesthetically amazing film that has a definite kinship with the director's first feature Begotten. Despite the rapid, jittery, contrasty, almost abstract images in this film, the story of creation, birth, evolution, and man are quite easily discovered. Probably a good introduction to "experimental" film for the uninitiated as the narrative is very present.
