Watch: It Came from Kuchar 2009 123movies, Full Movie Online – IT CAME FROM KUCHAR is the definitive, feature documentary about the legendary, underground filmmaking twins, the Kuchar brothers. George and Mike Kuchar have inspired two generations of filmmakers, actors, musicians, and artists with their zany, “no budget” films and with their uniquely enchanting spirits. George and Mike Kuchar grew up in the Bronx in the 1950’s making “no-budget” films, compulsively copying Hollywood melodramas with their aunt’s 8mm, home-movie camera. In the 1960’s the New York underground film scene embraced them as the “8mm Mozarts”. Their early films deeply inspired many filmmakers, including John Waters, Buck Henry, Atom Egoyan, Todd Haynes, Cory McAbee and Wayne Wang. IT CAME FROM KUCHAR includes numerous clips from the Kuchar brother’s early films including HOLD ME WHILE I’M NAKED, SINS OF THE FLESHAPOIDS, and many others. IT CAME FROM KUCHAR features interviews of many of the filmmakers, artists and writers who’ve been inspired by the Kuchars. The film also features interviews of key “actors” from the Kuchar’s films, ranging from the earliest days in the Bronx through today. For close to forty years George has taught film production at the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI). His class is unbelievable in a circus-like, Fellini-esque style that generates tremendous enthusiasm from his students. IT CAME FROM KUCHAR follows his latest class production as they make an over-the-top “monster picture”..

Highly entertaining
I went in to this movie at the SXSW festival having never heard of the Kuchar brothers; I just thought the description sounded intriguing. Boy, am I glad I took a chance on it; of all the films I saw during the festival, this was one of my favorites. It’s a hilarious and sometimes poignant look at the world of underground filmmakers and identical (or maybe not) twins, George and Mike Kuchar.These guys have made tons of no-budget films since the 50s, including such classics as The Naked and the Nude, Lust for Ecstasy, Hold Me While I’m Naked, The Devil’s Cleavage…and they are fascinating characters to boot. After looking at clips from their movies, it’s easy to see that the Kuchar films heavily influenced John Waters’ early works.
I hope this documentary gets a distribution deal; it definitely deserves to be seen. If it plays on IFC or Sundance channel, do yourself a favor and check it out.
The borderline crazy world of the Kuchars
This was an interesting introduction to the films of the Kuchar twins to me. I think I would be a bit squeamish to see all of their product but I hope to catch up on some of their underground movies. I like the excerpts from the ‘Weather Diaries’ films which promise some really atmospheric thunderstorm sequences. Their movies seem to have been made on the hoof and concocted as the film progresses. Although the plot of the film doesn’t seem to be of importance to the Kuchars there seems to be a lot going on in their movies. There are some grotesque characters like those played by Linda Martinez. She’s a 70 year old cougar who usually doesn’t have any underwear on. Also there some films about Bigfoot and UFOs which I would be pleased to track down. As well as Linda Martinez there seems to be a lot of inelegant female characters especially those with Joan Crawford thick eyebrows which have been exaggerated by make-up. There are plenty of funny anecdotes and a few tips on film-making. I like that the Kuchars didn’t resort to any real bad language but there is just one F-bomb from Divine in a clip from a John Waters’ movie.
