THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT

Doris Wishman, USA, 1970, AGFA + Something Weird, Cult

"Bends the laws of logic so severely, a pretzel would seem linear in comparison."
—Mark Klapper, Something Weird

No one will ever make movies like Doris Wishman made movies. One of the most prolific women filmmakers in the history of American cinema, writer-director-editor Wishman created DIY collisions between surrealism and exploitation that feel like they materialized from an alternate universe. THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT—the world's first penis transplant move and possibly Wishman's single most outrageous epic—finds a down-on-his-luck schlub named Artie transformed into a murdering, sex-crazed lunatic after a very special surgical procedure. A deranged mutation of DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE that's filled with wall-to-wall sex, gaudy interiors, and jaw-dropping dialogue, THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT has been newly restored in 2K from its original 35mm camera negative.
