“Inspired and truly bizarre!” – The Austin Chronicle
“Frontier<" is the first film ever made in the Bulbovian language. Directed by siblings David and Nathan Zellner (who began their film careers as extras in Pasolini's "Salo<"), "Frontier<" is based on the surrealist novel "Froktog' by famed author Mulnar Typsthat. The film is an epic saga set against the aftermath of the Klornsthog Revolution. Two members of the Expansionist Research Corps embark on a journey to civilize the most uncharted of territories. But the more these war-torn soldiers attempt to tame the wild landscape, the further they are driven towards the brink of madness. The DVD's special features include: cast and crew commentary, an animated Bulbovian War Bond PSA, music by Precarious Warehaus Dwellars, Bulbovian history factoids, the featurette "From Froktog to Frontier" on the making of the film, trailers, deleted scenes, an alternate ending, and Easter Eggs. The film's running time is 84 minutes; it is not rated and comes in Bulbovian with English Subtitles. Ligeia
