ULTRAMEGALOPOLIS presents a 2-and-a-half hour psychogeographic tour through the vast, post-riot urban sprawl of Los Angeles, California circa the early '90s. Explore the war zone from within it's graffiti-covered walls as director Larry Wessel trains his camcorder lens on a dizzying display of the city's most peculiar niches and residents including disabled street performers, junkies, sidewalk religious zealots, ex-cons, celebrity impersonators, and living mannequins. Visit the site of the infamous McMartin preschool, hear the confessions of Charles Manson's former cellmate, and experience the subterranean boxing gyms, wrestling rings, graffiti yards, and bullfighting arenas of America's smog infested City of Angels. - Like an analog Frederick Wiseman, legendary cinéma vérité documentarian Larry Wessel has tackled a wide array of eccentric subjects and captured some of underground cinema's most striking and unforgettable visuals, equipped solely with his camcorder and a nearly non-existent budget. An aesthetic terrorist of the highest order, Wessel's simplistic, fly-on-the-wall approach has allowed his subjects to reveal their stories and actions in the most candid and uninhibited means conceivable. Saturn's Core is proud to present ULTRAMEGALOPOLIS in it's superlative, director approved Blu-ray edition, accompanied by a bounty of new supplements compiled and curated under the supervision of Wessel.
