    Zeffirelli's Inferno

    ★★★★

    Saw this at the Zeffirelli Museum in Florence, Italy. Calling it a film is very generous as it's more of a motion comic comprised of 50 or so sketches/concept art that Zeffirelli drew.

    ★★★

    Eliminate your brain. It’s preventing you from seeing the cosmic dance we are dancing.”

    The majority of this was pretty dull and I have no idea why anyone at any point would title this Blow Job but things picked up once the surreality got stronger. The scene where a witch with an eyepatch wildly swings a torch at a naked man only to multiply into two witches wildly swinging torches at a naked man was a highlight.

    However, nothing was more…
