A man finds his past and future have gone awry in the wake of an accident in this psychological drama from filmmaker F.J. Ossang. Stan Van Der Decken (Guy McKnight) and his girlfriend Délie Starkov (Elvire) are enjoying an afternoon of water skiing when they have an accident that leaves Stan in a coma. Délie suffers an emotional breakdown while Stan is in the hospital, and when he finally regains consciousness, he finds he can no longer remember many of the events of his past. When Stan learns that Délie is under the care of a psychiatrist, Doctor Ewers ($Diogo Dória), he sets out to find them, and is eager to resume work on a screenplay he's been writing. But Stan soon notices that the screenplay seems to have anticipated many of the recent crises in his life, and his life becomes all the more confusing when he learns a team of researchers want to speak to him about his family history. Dharma Guns was an official selection at the 2010 Venice Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

French filmmaker/musician F.J. Ossang, who featured a dope delirium plus full-frontal apocalyptic audio attack in his black-and-white Le tresor des Iles Chiennes) (Land of the Dead), rebounds with the acid noir red-out of this French-Chilean road movie about a hitman (Pedro Hestnes) and a hooker (Elvire) who meet at a South American hotel and then let loose on an ultra blast through red-hot Chile, leaving a trail of drug dealers and meta-mind blasts into the blue. Ossang's own music group, the Messagero Killer Boy provides the industrial techno-rock sounds. Shown at 1997 film fests (London, Locarno). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

In this experimental post-apocalyptic picture, set to a loud rock score, the Bitch Islands are populated by murderers, drug addicts, a mad genius, and a single mute woman. In between drug-use scenes, vomiting scenes, and scenes when the inhabitants of the isles heap abuse on one another, there are scenes when the island genius waxes philosophical. Eventually, everyone meets their destiny. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

This impossible-to-decipher punk-rock film by rock singer Francois-Jacques Ossang is filled with pounding music that in sheer thundering volume might drown out the lack of a script, plot, character development, or similar oddities often associated with filmmaking. Underneath the music, it appears that some punk machos are out defending their turf -- beyond that hypothesis, viewers are welcome to guess their own version of the storyline. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
