Dead Channels goes Postal
www.deadchannels.com
On Saturday August 11, 2007, Uwe Boll will attend Dead Channels: the
San Francisco Festival of Fantastic Film to present the US premiere of
the unrated director’s cut of Postal. www.postal-the-movie.com
The latest film from the notorious director (and internet-critic boxing
sensation) defies his critic’s expectations – it’s a
terrific movie. We are delighted to be able to present this special presentation
at the Festival. The Q&A following the premiere promises to be lively.
Postal delivers exactly what it promises: it’s a laugh-out-loud,
blacker-than-pitch anarchic satire that lines up our sacred cows and slaughters
them. A long-lived cult following is virtually guaranteed for this hypnotically
entertaining cinematic Molotov cocktail.
Boll’s soon-to-be controversial 13th feature is an outrageously
politically incorrect roller-coaster ride, with scenarios ripped screaming
from the headlines – and something to offend everyone.
Uncle Dave (Foley from The Kids in the Hall and Newsradio) leads a Doomsday
Cult whose fund-raising efforts run afoul of Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban
– currently headquartered behind a convenience store. Both factions
target an international shipment of International Superstar Verne Troyer’s
Krotchy dolls. Elsewhere, Postal Dude is having a really bad day. He catches
his morbidly obese wife rocking the trailer with their hillbilly landlord
and all Hell breaks loose.
The veteran ensemble cast (including a brilliant cameo by the director
as himself) sinks their collective teeth into the tastelessly hilarious
script and go for broke. Boll expertly maintains the frantic pacing necessary
to handle the vast array of jaw-dropping material onscreen. The non-stop
action and creative set-pieces also serve to showcase his directorial
skills, technical control and stylistic flair. And Postal is much smarter
than it first appears – which never hurts.
