Described by Roger Ebert as "a living legend in experimental film," John Waters thinks they're more influential than The Wizard of Oz, and Buck Henry calls them "the Mozarts of 8mm film." The roster of interviewees applauding the Kuchar Brothers' work is like a cinephile's wet dream: Buck Henry, Guy Maddin, Todd Haynes, Atom Egoyan, Jonas Mekas, B Ruby Rich and many more. Courtney Love was one of their students, they surpassed the outputs of both Andy Warhol and Kenneth Anger and their underground B movie hits include Hold Me While I'm Naked, Lust for Ecstasy, Sins of the Fleshapoids, The Devil's Cleavage and the masterpiece that is Thundercrack with Curt McDowell.
Watching It Came from Kuchar is pure entertainment, joy and creative bliss.
"These were the pivotal films of my youth, bigger influences than Warhol, Kenneth Anger, even The Wizard of Oz." John Waters
