Featured review
Love and death and gruesomeness.
Robert Schmadtke (Bernd Daktari Lorenz) is a young man working for a street cleaning business. Therefore, he's able to pursue his fetish of fooling around with dead bodies and dead body parts. He takes prizes home to his willing girlfriend Betty (Beatrice Manowski), who shares his passion. However, things start to head South when he brings home an entire corpse that was fished out of a swamp. Soon after, he is fired, and the fed-up Betty decides to leave him - taking the corpse with her. Robert deals with this problem the only way that he knows how.
Co-writer / director Jorg Buttgereit - who actually wore a number of hats on this show - deserves at least some respect for committing himself so thoroughly to portraying absolute filth and nastiness on screen. This may be one of the wettest, grossest films that trash fans are likely to see. The filmmaking is crude, and the makeup effects are tacky, but this adds to the admittedly arresting experience. The rather beautiful music makes for the perfect counterpoint to everything happening on screen. Lorenz and Manowski deliver sincere performances, and Buttgereit creates an overwhelmingly sordid atmosphere.
Some viewers will be advised to stay FAR away. However, if one dares to immerse themselves in a very oddly romantic and poetic ode to the wonders of necrophilia, they may find the proceedings to their liking.
NOT recommended for cat and rabbit lovers.
Six out of 10.
