“If I had ever taken a hallucinogenic drug in my life, I imagine that my fevered drug dreams would be something like SAINT BERNARD.” — Patrick, LETTERBOXD
Gabe Bartalos’ award-winning FX career spans both exploitation (BRAIN DAMAGE, FRANKENHOOKER) and arthouse (Matthew Barney’s CREMASTER CYCLE). Now the writer/producer/director brings his own years-in-the-making vision to the screen, as an unhinged orchestra conductor named Bernard graphically descends into a surreal odyssey of chaos and psychosis. Warwick Davis (WILLOW) and notorious Andy Kaufman cohort Bob Zmuda (MAN ON THE MOON) co-star – with a performance by punk legends The Damned – in this wild nightmare of a movie.
