Flying Lotus’ Movie Kuso Gets Wide Release
Kuso, Flying Lotus’ first full-length feature film, is getting a wide release. The streaming service Shudder has acquired the North American and UK/Ireland rights to the film, which will be available to watch online starting July 21. Kuso also hits select theaters in New York and Los Angeles that day, as well as iTunes/Amazon. Check out a new teaser video below. Starring Iesha Coston, Zack Fox, Tim Heidecker, Hannibal Buress, George Clinton, and more, the film also included new music from Flying Lotus (and his rap alter ego Captain Murphy), Aphex Twin, Thundercat, Akira Yamoaka, and more. The film—which features gore, genital mutilation, a scene where a man has sex with a talking boil, and more—premiered at Sundance Film Festival and was met with some walkouts.
Since detailing the film’s wide release, FlyLo has taken to Twitter to explain that a “big ol” physical release for Kuso is still to come, and explained his choice of Shudder as a streaming home for the film. “After Kuso played at Sundance, Shudder have been on top of this thing. I’m so glad my first film will be in the best home possible,” he wrote. “Y’all can’t hate on shudder. Netflix are scared as fuck of me and David Firth. Shudder came thru like hey. $ and a Yo. We got u.” Find those tweets below.
