While doing jury duty in Sitges last year I had the chance to see a goo dnumber of truly stunning short films and pieces of animation and one of my absolute favorites was Franck Dion's retro-futuristic, Lane-Smith-on-acid, war satire Monsieur COK. This thing is both gorgeously realized and absolutely daft - the perfect combination - and i raved about it at the time while pointing the way to a brief trailer. But why both with a trailer when the whole film is online? Which this one is. Now. Go.
Thank a lot for your enthusiasm about my film dear Todd ;)
yEAH, WhaT eVer HapPenED To that George Lucas produced film...TWICE UPON A TIME?
chocadoobie!
There exist no fewer than two distinct cuts of the film, and there are issues between co-writer/producer Bill Couturié (who prefers the raunchier cut seen on HBO) and co-writer/co-director John Korty (who hates the raunchy version and prefers the G-rated cut that was released to VHS and LaserDisc). Co-writer/co-director Charles Swenson was the mastermind behind DIRTY DUCK - therefore I will speculate he prefers Bill Couturié's version. But since the behind the scenes people can't come to an agreement as to what cut of the film IS the film...
