GAY PEOPLE'S CHRONICLE

Continued from facing page

"There's always a certain ambivalence," he concludes,

And that prosthetic penis certainly takes one out of the sexual moment, even if you were able to overlook the availability of orifices.

Interestingly, it seems to be LaBruce's second film in a row to reference Flesh for Frankenstein, also known as Andy Warhol's Frankenstein. In the earlier film, Dr. Frankenstein tells his assistant, "To know death, Otto, you have to fuck life in the gall bladder." He then proceeds to engage in simulated sex with a wound in the "bride of Frankenstein" character's side.

The title of LaBruce's last film, Otto: or, Up with Dead People, was a reference to the assistant, and both Otto and L.A. Zombie feature wounds used sexually.

While he started off with a grungy-ifrealistic feel to his films, they have become steadily more bizarre over the years, with the Baader-Meinhof satire in Raspberry Reich, the teenaged German zombie in Otto, and now, this. Whatever this is.

"You may have noticed that the world we live in is becoming increasingly bizarre," LaBruce mused. "Both my zombie films can be interpreted as films about mental illness, but it's only a mental illness that reflects a sick society."

Despite that, there might be some taboos left for him to break. When asked what was left, he replied questioningly.

"Robot sex? Unicorn-holing?"

He's already at work on his next film, called Gerontophilia, a romantic comedy about an 18-year-old boy in love with an 80year-old man. One supposes it will be a sort of Harold and Maude for the apocalyptic generation.

L.A. Zombie is now available on DVD from Strand Releasing. More information can be found at the film's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/lazombiefilm.
