ULTRA I

About This Movie

ULTRA I is one of those video magazines that really captures the grit of the early '80s underground scene. It's raw and unsettling, a collage of noise, sex, and the macabre, all tied together by an unflinching lens on infamous figures. The Sutcliffe Jugend interview is particularly striking, offering a haunting aural landscape that complements the imagery. There’s this strange pacing—some segments feel almost meditative while others ramp up to disorienting chaos. You get these snippets of medical procedures and unsettling themes of mortality that linger long after viewing. It's definitely not for everyone, but for those intrigued by the avant-garde or the fringes of society, it’s a fascinating time capsule. The Whitehouse tracks add another layer, making it distinctive in its approach to sound and visuals.
