In Tribute to Udo Kier

A delectably gory and cynical social satire from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Morrissey, FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN is among the most original and transgressive interpretations of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Baron von Frankenstein (Kier), with the help of his bizarre assistant Otto, is determined to create a new master race. To achieve his objective, he constructs two perfect ‘zombies’ from an assemblage of body parts, intending them to mate. Meanwhile, the hunky farm hand Nicholas (Dallesandro) begins an affair with the Baron’s sexually frustrated wife while also searching for his missing friend—whose body has, unfortunately, already been recycled for one of Frankenstein’s creations. Upon its release, FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN became an immediate midnight and cult movie sensation. Now, the movie has been newly restored from its original negative! – American Genre Film Archive Brattle Debut
