Creators of extreme cinema often use this same get-out-of-jail-free-card to justify their shocking films, I suppose you can argue on a case by case basis whether theyвЂ™re full of shit or not. The onscreen events are not nice at all, but the audience watches it without emotion, instead striving to make out to it instead. He and the audience watch some standard slasher fare where a young blonde is stalked and undressed and stabbed by a dude - you know, the crap I usually talk about on here. Desensitisation is the big one, portrayed most effectively when our quote-unquote hero visits a cinema. ThereвЂ™s certainly some attempts at allegory and social commentary dotted throughout. Unusually for a normal film but typical here, we cut straight to an amused gnome, before the man very casually inspects his handiwork, pausing to sip at his drink. Other moments include a man accidentally shooting a gardener in the neck, killing him instantly. The melodramatic piano tunes work much the same way, jumping straight out of a daytime soap opera to instead accompany some truly heinous things. Utilising typical slow-mo and visual stylings from romance movies to depict the corpse-shagging adds a very welcome and heavy layer of absurdity to the scene it makes you feel a bit less dirty for watching. It all sounds kind of dour but really the film can stir a fair few chuckles out of you. The footage is used in conjunction with others as an analogy, so has some reason for its inclusion, but I still feel I should give a heads up.

A rabbit is grabbed and stuck with a knife, while the camera holds through the whole process, before the man proceeds to skin and prepare it. Sequences of necrophilia and short bursts of gory violence aside, it should be noted that there is a prolonged shot of real animal suffering in here. Thank fucking Christ you donвЂ™t see that every day.

I mean, is it not normal for your love scenes to begin with dragging a decomposing corpse to bed, sticking a pipe in its crotch, attaching a condom to the pipe, before initiating a lengthy and very gross threesome? Riding cowgirl on this boney boner is one thing, but I personally draw the line at him repeatedly sucking at and around the eyeball, which was a real pigвЂ™s eye taken from a slaughterhouse no less.

Most discussion on this movie invariably returns to the sex scene. Scroll through any forums, reviews and comment sections on this film and youвЂ™ll see it is the cinematic equivalent of Marmite some really enjoy the taste of the taboo while others are left gagging under the table. Needless to say, this is a purposefully shocking piece of European horror. The imdb description does a decent job so IвЂ™ll just repeat that: вЂњA street sweeper who cleans up after grisly accidents brings home a full corpse for him and his wife to enjoy sexually, but is dismayed to see that his wife prefers the corpse over him.вЂќ That ridiculously grim premise and the sick punchline that punctuates that summary essentially gives you the gist of Nekromantik. When reduced to a logline summary, Nekromantik is one of my favourites just for sounding so absurd and darkly amusing. The first feature film from German director JГ¶rg Buttgereit, it remains the most infamous of his many disturbed cult classics. Nekromantik doesnвЂ™t just double down on the crude content from there, nor does it triple down At the very least Nekromantik sixty-nines down. It warns of forthcoming content that viewers may find offensive, and when the very first shot of the film is a close-up of a woman pulling down her pants to urinate on some grass, you are instantly inclined to take heed.

It is incredibly fitting that Nekromantik should open with crude - almost childish - scribbles.
