Adult Swim Meets Underground Surrealism
"I mean this with all due respect and certainly not being derogatory, but this is the most disgusting and sick film I have ever seen. And I've seen Faces of Death and Pink Flamingos. And I loved it!"

Broadcasting through a makeshift network of discarded televisions, KUSO is a shifting series of vignettes tangled in the aftermath of Los Angeles's worst earthquake nightmare. Travel between screens and aftershocks into the twisted lives of the survived. Blending nightmarish visions, animation and a shocking image of a distorted America, this is the daring debut and Sundance sensation from director Steve, aka renowned musician Flying Lotus. Delirious, provocative and darkly hilarious, KUSO is as verbose with macabre, music, melancholy and unimaginable imagery. You won't believe your eyes, or your mind.

"A lowbrow orgasmic journey through a post apocalyptic world. A great mix of practical effects and a unique animation style. A handful of eye opening vignettes. . . some of them I would love to see made into there own movies. . . like the boy and that strange shit eating anomaly in the woods. . . . or the strange creature in the water and the awe inspiring space ship. . . . the cinematography during these scenes is amazing. . . . reminds me of David Lynch. There are also dark humor scenes which brings to mind Tim and Ericks awesome show. Sadly I had to purchase without the slipcover. The slip cover I found to be a complete insult to the movie! Hoping someday we can get an alternate slip that respects this very unique and rare movie."
"Movie: Starts out with a large amount of gross-out, and as it went through several seemingly disconnected scenes I wasn't really sure about it. However, by the time it started establishing the various threads by returning to them I had started to see some of the connections. I've also watched a lot of Salad Fingers and other David Firth YouTube videos, so I felt prepared for the bizarre grossness on display (I was thinking about David's work even before I was surprised to see his name during the flash mid-movie credit). Overall it's a fascinating mix of _stuff_. Mr. Quiggle was delightfully absurd, and definitely my favorite vignette. The other vignettes all had interesting things going on, but the movie as a whole was not really more than the sum of its parts. Extras: Enjoyable interview with the director. The FX test and both image galleries are a good length - not too long. The two short films are also nice to have, especially if you liked the tone of the movie. Book: Good information, including a concise list of the names of the vignettes in the movie, which I couldn't fine elsewhere. Packaging: Great slipcover that captures the spirit of the movie. The disc is also appropriately gross."
"Freaking love the flying lotus interview especially the Ren and Stimpy influential connections. Story is kinda good but the fluid slathered deviant feasticular skull fukered visuals is where its at. "I don't want no dry puppets no dry people, its a juicy movie. ""
"What a gross movie. Any fluid you can think of, it’s here - and lots of it. Not exactly sure of what to make of it overall. Will say that Steve had a vision and an aesthetic in mind, and definitely delivered on it. But I can’t say I fully connected to any of the stories or the characters really. Besides the shock and gross out factor, not a ton resonated. Still a cool release with interesting use of mixed media. The weird 3d animation and paper cutouts were a highlight. Oh and all the goo too. So much goo."
"💩"
"Fever dream body horror grossness to the max"
"This film was quite something. A lot of gross and surreal things going on in this film. This was like watching snot blow out of someone's nose. I was never bored with it, I found some of it entertaining haha!"
"So happy i finally own this crazy movie"
"Fascinating film with four stories intertwined in a corrupted post apocalytpic California. Loads of cum, pus and feces. An obsession with holes. Bodyhorror Comedy that stretches the image of what a film is. Kuso is the japaneese word for shit. Highly recommended for the more adventorous wievers."
