Content:
One of Arrabal's most linear films, "The Guerilla Tree" differs from the writer/director's prior work by depicting the epic turmoil of a nation, instead of an individual. Arrabal's naughty playfulness also manifests itself through sharp missives at the Fascist regime, but he also characterizes the dwindling socialist factions as rustic tree-huggers and peace-loving idealists ... Arrabal doesn't shy away from any violence or R-rated nudity, and while he's hardly alone in playing out scenes of sadism his surrealist nature comes through in a notorious sequence where town dwarves are killed in a newly-christened bullfight stadium. The writer/director still employs more restraint in "The Guerilla Tree" than in prior work - there's less impish shocks - but Arrabal still assaults the sacred icons of Catholicism in rough, outrageous acts of defilement.
