Poison ( Venena ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Spain ] Summary Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.66:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Short Film, SYNOPSIS: This film has become infamous thanks to the efforts of the Rev. Donald Wildmon, who publicly questioned the fact that NEA dollars were spent on this 'filth.' While Wildmon's point was certainly overstated, this debut feature from Todd Haynes is quite disturbing. The Poison in question is sex, and its toxic effects are explored in three segments which have been shuffled together like a deck of cards. 'Hero' is a pseudo-documentary about a seven-year-old boy who shoots his father and then ascends into the sky. 'Horror' is a mad-scientist story filmed like a Roger Corman 'B'-movie. The scientist in question has managed to distill the essence of the human sex drive into a test tube. When he inadvertently drinks it, he turns into a leprous monster, terrorizing the city. 'Homo' is a gay love story set in a prison. All three segments are based on the writings of Jean Genet.
