Evening Entertainment (?): The Residents in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VILENESS FATS?

Began in 1972, VILENESS FATS was the attempt at an avant-garde film created by music-minded enigma The Residents and Graeme Whifler, the future writer of SONNY BOY.  Portions of the film were shot over the next four years, and while the project was never completed, a version of the footage called WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VILENESS FLATS? has been released to confused audiences.  The results, featuring an original soundtrack and a prologue that vaguely attempts to explain the plot about a pair of twin wrestlers involved with occultism that help a small village, shouldn't come as a particular surprise to anyone unfamilar with The Residents and should completely flummox anyone else.  Recommended!
