Existo (1999)
Made-for-Midnite Madness
A made-for-midnite movie if I ever saw one, EXISTO is the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" for the new millennium.
Set on the eve of Armageddon, after the Religious Righteous & corporate mega-mergers have turned most people's brains into salsa, EXISTO tells of a world where art is outlawed. And the greatest outlaw of em all is the title character.
Both sides get jabbed the rebels fret that they don't have time to adequately art direct an assassination and the priggish televised voice of oppression bemoans that the impending Apocalypse will pre-empt any chance he's got to wallow in his stock market windfall.
Some of the political messages are written ham-handedly. But all in all, it's a silly little movie that has a couple of really great performances Jenny Littleton's `White Bred Poodle & a Junk Yard Dog' production number needs to have somebody pour a bucket of water on it. And Bruce Arniston as Existo, well he co-authored the screenplay & is credited with all the songs. He should be proud for a long time.
Saturdays at midnite, anyway.
