Bullfight Watusi

About This Movie

Bullfight Watusi is quite the curious piece from 1965, combining the absurdity of its title with a rather unconventional premise. The film features a nude woman performing the titular 'bullfight watusi,' which creates an atmosphere that oscillates between playful and surreal. The pacing is meandering, reflective of its experimental nature, allowing viewers to absorb the eccentric visuals and dances that don't quite follow conventional narratives. It’s distinct for its rawness and reliance on practical effects, more about the experience than a polished storyline. The performances, while limited in scope, exude a certain boldness that contributes to its allure amongst collectors of the unusual.

Bullfight Watusi has had a bit of a strange journey in the collector's market, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles of the era. Its oddity has generated a niche interest, with original prints being relatively scarce. While it doesn’t pop up often at conventions or in collections, those who do have it appreciate its unconventional nature and the conversations it tends to spark about the avant-garde films of the 60s.
