While 3-Dimensional film projection technology is fluctuating
between being phased out, being discontinued on televisions and blu-ray players
amid hints of renewal with the forthcoming Avatar sequels being filmed, Vinegar
Syndrome have miraculously unearthed and restored arguably the most important
3D film ever made: Paul Morrissey’s 1973 subversive cult gut-cruncher Flesh
for Frankenstein. Stemming from an
original idea of Roman Polanski who met with Morrissey and suggested he would
be the right person to direct a 3D Frankenstein film from legendary
Italian producer Carlo Ponti, the film initially became known among cinephiles as
an Andy Warhol picture though he himself had little if anything to do with the finished
product.
