Tribulation
99
by Craig Baldwin
1:37:00
Upon its release
in 1991, TRIBULATION 99 became an instant counter-culture classic.
Baldwin’s “pseudo-pseudo-documentary” presents
a factual chronicle of US intervention in Latin America in the
form of the ultimate far-right conspiracy theory, combining covert
action, environmental catastrophe, space aliens, cattle mutilations,
killer bees, religious prophecy, doomsday diatribes, and just
about every other crackpot theory broadcast through the dentures
of the modern paranoiac.
A delirious vortex of hard truths, deadpan irony, and archival
mash-ups – industrials, graphs, cartoons, movies from Hollywood
B to Mexican Z – TRIBULATION 99 constructs a truly perverse
vision of American imperialism.
Also! Two early rarities from Baldwin:
ROCKETKITKONGOKIT: This kaleidoscopic collage-essay traces an
alternative history of post-colonial Congo, the CIA, and military
adventurism.
WILD GUNMAN: A dense montage of cowboy iconography, advertising
campaigns and pop culture imagery within an interactive penny-arcade
game.
“One of the most exhilarating underground movies in recent
years… A relentlessly lurid agitprop for the cyberpunk generation.”
- Jim Hoberman, Premiere Magazine
“An unparalleled achievement in wicked social satire.”
- Michael Atkinson, Film Comment
“Like speed spiked with an LSD chaser!”
- Manohla Dargis, Village Voice
