The Last Words of Dutch Schultz

I love this piece. It plays out like a prophetic hallucination, and it is centered around the real transcription of Dutch Schultz's dying words. What may uncharitably be called the ramblings of a dying gangster is transformed into an existential vision through the creative use of rotoscope and visual juxtaposition. Writers such as Burroughs and Robert Anton Wilson, among others, saw the poetry behind Schultz's last words, and this film is a brilliant translation of that poetry. It deserves to be seen. Every aspect of it is fabulous.
