It is anarchic, terrifyingly dark and hilarious at the same time: a cult film and cornerstone of the Movida counterculture movement. The plot revolves around two encounters between José, a B-list horror filmmaker, and Pedro, an obsessed experimental filmmaker, both addicted to drugs. Their compulsion to make films, to literally absorb films and to be filmed themselves, develops into an ecstatic narrative that masterfully interweaves drug intoxication, allegorical vampirism and desperate cinephilia. Redemption is sought in the transgression of all conceivable physical and psychological boundaries. ARREBATO could be seen as a purely psychological horror film if its core were not so multi-layered and ultimately intangible: A dark mirror of the self. (Maria Giovanna Vagenas)
