Accion Mutante

[Machine Translation] In Spain, the land of the arts that gave birth to Goya, Picasso, and Dali, the super-genius Alex de la Iglesia has suddenly emerged, and is now being hailed as "the birth of a guru that will make even the world's great masters bow down! ] The debut work of the super-genius Alex de la Iglesia, who was much talked about as a "great guru" who would make even the world's great masters bow down to him. Later, "The Day of the Beast" ('95) won the Goya Award, the Spanish version of the Academy Award, and "Duel of the Crazy Clowns" ('10) was acclaimed by Quentin Tarantino and won the Silver Lion at the 67th Venice International Film Festival.

He is also the director of "Heil Mutante! /and "The Mutants of the Future", the film was re-titled "Action Mutante 4K" in 2024, and the first 4K remastering of the film has just brought this wordless "cosmic art" to the big screen. Now, the cosmic shockwave of the first disc release of the master is about to hit the Japanese archipelago. The film has the charm of a cult sci-fi movie in the style of "Future Century Brazil," the violence of "A Clockwork Orange," and the homage to "Operation Spy" (!?!). The film is an anarchic sci-fi extravaganza that blends all genres, black humor, and blood, and blasts the planet into the abyss with a gale-force wind. bar locations. Despite the intense violence and morally-charged humor, the film is rooted in a rebellious spirit that is aggressive and mocking of existing "beauty," the system, and authority. Is it society, mutantes, or us who are mad? [This is a monstrous work of the century that blasts away at the world coated with a "good feeling" and leaves you strangely moved. --In the near future, only the beautiful can hold power.

One day, the group's boss, Ramon, is released from prison, and they infiltrate the wedding party of Patricia, the daughter of Oljo, a wealthy bakery owner. Mutante and his men killed the guests one after another and kidnapped her. On their way to the planet where the ransom is to be exchanged, the mutantes begin to suspect each other about the money, and eventually end up killing each other, but they keep going with the force to blow up the planet as well.
