First, a proviso: what you are going to see in this series is categorically loco. With five rarities slated, this Anthology series celebrates three of Italy's most influential independent filmmakers of the '60s and '70s. Friends who often collaborated, Carmelo Bene, Franco Brocani, and Mario Schifano dreamt up films that were fiercely original in style and omnivorous in scope. Take Bene's dazzling pop art Salomè (after Wilde's text), which sears itself into consciousness after a man nails himself onto a blinking neon cross. Other titles include Brocani's ragtag Necropolis and Schifano's experimental pièce de résistance Umano Non Umano, which features Bene, Brocani, novelist Alberto Moravia, and, yes, Mick Jagger.
