 Cult Epics will present director Gerald Kargl's Angst a.k.a. Schizophrenia (1983) uncut and uncensored for the first time in U.S. theaters, starting June 12, 2015 at Cinefamily in Los Angeles and the Grand Illusion Cinema in Seattle.
Angst is one hell of a gorgeously stylized and shockingly visceral experience: a forgotten classic on the fringes of the slasher cycle. Zbig's innovative "first person" camerawork grabs you by the throat, never letting go.
The Los Angeles opening engagement of Angst includes a rare personal appearance by the film's cinematographer, legendary Oscar-winning Polish animator/experimentalist Zbig Rybczynski. Mr. Rybcynski will be in attendance for a special introduction and Q&A on June 12th.
Scored by Krautrock synth god Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream), Angst stars Erwin Leder (DAS BOOT, SCHINDLER'S LIST) as a maniacal killer based on the real-life serial murderer Werner Kniesek. Director Gaspar Noé (IRREVERSIBLE, ENTER THE VOID, LOVE) calls ANGST "the rarest unknown masterpiece of cinema" and cites the film as a major influence, "one that I have watched more than 40 times."
Following the Los Angeles and Seattle screenings, Angst will be showing at independent theaters and festivals in cities across North America through fall 2015 (additional theaters TBA).
