Watch Disturbing, NSFW Flying Lotus-Scored Short Film
FUCKKKYOUUU, a disturbing short film scored by Flying Lotus and directed by Eddie Alcazar, is available to stream online. The eight-minute (and extremely NSFW) project veers from soft surrealism to existential horror, following a time-traveling woman through scenarios both dreamlike and nightmarish.
“With the ability to travel in time, a lonely girl finds love and comfort by connecting with her past self,” reads the film’s description. “Eventually faced with rejection, she struggles with her identity and gender, and as time folds onto itself only one of them can remain.”
FUCKKKYOUUU, currently screening at the Sundance Film Festival, opens with selections from Sylvia Plath’s 1962 poem “Elm,” which taps into the film’s brooding themes and reinforces the tree imagery throughout. Flying Lotus‘ minimalist score – airy electronic pings, choral washes, brash bursts of noise – is the perfect accompaniment for Alcazar’s eerie images.

Last year, FlyLo joined forces with longtime collaborator Thundercat and experimental hip-hop duo Shabazz Palaces on a new project, WOKE, recruiting funk legend George Clinton for their mind-altering track “The Lavishments of Light Looking.”
