Product Description:

From LORD OF THE RINGS superstar Viggo Mortenson to '60s British film icon Rita Tushingham to writer-director Lech Majewski, GOSPEL ACCORDING TO HARRY delivers a cinematic and social commentary wallop that would make Samuel Beckett proud. Living in the California desert, Wes is locked in a codependent battle with his needy wife Karen. Their future looks as barren as the sun-bleached dunes that surround them, with sand invading every facet of their lives. Harry, the tax collector and humble civil servant, serves as a witness to their crumbling existence, as it come apart grain by grain.

Product Description:

Combining the theatrical surrealism of Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco, the pop-art playfulness of Richard Lester, scathing social critique, genuine pathos and the mind-boggling imagery for which writer-director Lech Majewski (The Garden of Earthly Delights) is renowned, Gospel According to Harry is a wholly original cinematic tour de force. Years before the Lord of the Rings trilogy catapulted him to international superstardom, Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises, A History of Violence) played Wes, a young husband locked in co-dependent discontent with his beautiful and needy wife Karen (Jennifer Rubin – The Doors, Nightmare On Elm Street III). Their future prospects as barren as the sun-bleached dunes that are the surreal setting for their one room existence, Wes and Karen go through the dehumanizing motions of a modern life in which happiness is as ephemeral and elusive as the grains of sand beneath their feet. Boasting a remarkable cast, including 60's British film icon Rita Tushingham (Doctor Zhivago, The Knack and How to Get It), haunting visuals, and incisive wit, Gospel According to Harry — which was produced for David Lynch's Propaganda Films — is at last ready for discovery, available here for the first time on DVD or any format.
