Grand mal [videorecording] / Tony Oursler. [1981]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/417027212

With primitively constructed and humorously inventive sets, Oursler creates a fantastic stage for this hallucinatory and sinister fable of postmodern cultural malaise acted out by crudely painted hands, fingers, cut-outs, and live worms. Oursler's expressionistic visions of religion, sex and death unravel in a fragmented narrative of fear, horror and delirium rooted in classic themes of good and evil, birth and death, heaven and hell.
