Flying Lotus‘ surreal new movie Kuso has caused controversy right off the bat of its release, inciting cinema-goers to walk out of its very first screening.
The movie – whose title derives from the Japanese word for shit, contains a cornucopia of shocking scene-points, including the stabbing of an erect penis, a goo-filled cockroach hatching in a man’s rear-end before crawling out of it (the man being played by P-Funk Godfather George Clinton), and close-up shots of a man climaxing inside a talking boil on a woman’s neck.
The film was written by Zach Fox and Salad Fingers creator David Firth, and features an ensemble cast including Donnell Rawlings, Hannibal Buress and Tim Heidecker. The official plot synopsis describes a collection of semi-connected short films chronicling the lives of the mutated inhabitants of Los Angeles after an earthquake.
Lotus allegedly approached Clinton for a role in the movie with a text saying “Would you mind showing your butthole on camera?“
