- "I don't know if the goal was to fuck with people, but I did feel like if I was going to touch on certain things, I'm going to go there," says Flying Lotus of his new film, 'KUSO.' The acclaimed and adventurous Los Angeles music producer makes his feature directorial debut with a movie that's been described by critics as a "beautiful, bizarre creep-out," "often stomach-turning," and "a visual orgy of pus and perversion."
FlyLo came by the MASS APPEAL offices for an Open Space session to discuss the response to the film and the inspiration behind it. "A lot of my friends think that I'm all about gore and disgusting things all the time," he says. "People send me disgusting pictures all of the time now because of the movie, but 'KUSO' is a movie, that was that, I don't need to see decapitation photos or whatever."
Over the years he has become increasing interested in making films, but a large part of the motivation behind 'KUSO' was how bad he thought everything else he watched was. So he drew from the Japanese cinema that did resonate with him.
Another influence was natural disasters, and 'KUSO' is set in a post-apocalyptic world after a major earthquake has killed most people and left the survivors covered in oozing sores. "I grew up in L.A., I was in the '94 earthquake, which was traumatic for me," Flying Lotus says. "I was ten years old and I think the feeling has just stuck with me for so long. If you live in L.A. and you've been through that, you always think about what the big one going to be like."
And though viewers might not be able to stomach the entire film, confronting these fears was good for at least one person. As FlyLo says, "It was somewhat therapeutic for me to dig into that."
The film is available now to stream on Shudder.
