IVAN Z FREAK OUT!

Here’s “Leo es pardo” is a short film by spanish film maker and graphic designer maestro Ivan Zulueta. Heavily addicted to heroin at the time, he created a world on his own where pop art, the wild side of nature, and the obsession with the still unrevealed power of moving pictures get together. His passion of music was also a highlight in his work, he designed the cover of psych-pop favorites Vainica Doble‘s first album. He was wise enough to get Marvin Gaye mixed up with Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music.

And now, enjoy a fragment of his master piece “Arrebato” from 1979 one of my favorite films. sadly only re reissued in Spain without subtitles… but I guess the images and sounds speaks of itself.

Sadly Mr Zulueta passed away last year on new years eve, after years of reclution at his parents home in San Sebastian. God bless his tortured and lightful soul.
