BAMcinématek 2016
series Nilsson Schmilsson
Directed by Otto Preminger | 1968
With Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Frankie Avalon
“It’s an astonishment of tone and style from beginning to end, literally.”
—Richard Brody, The New Yorker
Jackie Gleason trips on acid, Groucho Marx plays a mob boss named God, and a chorus line of trash cans sing and dance in a psychotropic musical number: Otto Preminger’s utterly unclassifiable gangsters-meet-hippies drug comedy (inspired by the director’s experiments with LSD) is a bizarro satire of free love and mind-altering substances. Nilsson’s appropriately trippy soundtrack features the songwriter singing the entire end credits sequence.
