Birth of the Pool

2013 • Directed by

Giuseppe Andrews

In this portrait of a Texas summer, Giuseppe stars as Johnny Angel, a man who has recently given himself a lobotomy and wandered into a new town. He starts a relationship with a local girl who’s obsessed with turtle masturbation and lives with her grandfather’s talking decapitated skull. Through wild music montages and surreal dialogue experiments, Birth Of The Pool morphs between a making of and an acid dream blood documentary.
