Professor Bruno Volpi spots some strange paintings on a cliff. He sends for Professor Zovek to help him discover its meaning. Zovek uses his powers to figure the writings are a warning that a cosmic tragedy is going to happen. Their fears prove to be true when a fire ball falls from the skies causing the ressurrection of the dead as zombies, craving for human flesh.

"This film treats masturbation as a kind of religious ritual; it shows self-love, the passion of the self--the close, fine line between pleasure and pain. This is an extremely graphic and explicit film, recommended for mature audiences." - CL

"One extraordinary audio-visual event is the face of a girl apparently enjoying orgasm while on the soundtrack we hear a horse-race announcer. Later a microscopic close-up of a lizard's skin is contrasted with a girl's hand in a net glove... This is an impressive movie, as much for what it reveals about ourselves, as about Linder." - Gene Youngblood, L.A. Free Press, May 24, 1968

"If THE DEVIL IS DEAD is a requiem for man becoming mutant[…] GORGEOUS is quite the opposite. It is a celebration of the freedoms from sexual and spiritual hang-ups that modern man is trying to win for himself--a flowing loose outgoing film which continually, as SKIN did (as most of Linder's films have done), relates men to nature... it's a work that seems buoyed on hope." - Richard Whitehall, L.A. Free Press, Dec. 26, 1969

"Womancock has a rippling surreality to it, using montage-collage cinema, superimposing images within the frame and juxtaposing pieces of film and snips of music and talk to make statements about women." - LA Free Press

Overflow is the conclusion of the beautiful cycle of work begun in The Devil is Dead. The microscopic intensity of the earlier films is replaced in Overflow by a telescopic overview of the earlier work.
