ARRAPAHO (1984)

The most cult release of the year: the restored version of *Arrapaho*, the craziest film ever, “disastrously directed by Ciro Ippolito” and, of course, performed by the Squallor, a legendary band from Naples and Milan, creators of the eponymous album.

Over the years, it has been described as “obscenity at an infantile level (sound effects included)” (Oreste Del Buono), “the ugliest film in the history of Italian cinema” (Morando Morandini), and “an absolute masterpiece of trash cinema” (Roberto Poppi).

Arrapaho is a wildly absurd gay western-musical comedy that won over the unruly youth of the 1980s from the outset and eventually became a cult favorite, openly reveling in trash aesthetics, shoestring-budget filmmaking, and Monty Python-inspired comedy.

Sinossi (rubata a Marco Giusti): “La bellissima Scella Pezzata, figlia di Palla Pesante, capo tribù dei Cefaloni, è promessa a Cavallo Pazzo, ma è innamorata di Arrapaho, figlio di Mazza Nera, capo tribù degli Arrapaho. Ma anche Luna Caprese della tribù Frocheyenne è innamorato di Arrapaho.”
