Nekromantik

Jorg Buttgereit's most famous movie. And just for the record, the combined cost of both, "Nekromantik" and "Nekromantik 2" was something like $45,000. Anyway, I happen to like this movie, or, to be exact, this necrophiliac love story. A good thing about it is that it's not some stupid exploitation flick, and its ultra low budget and cheap special effects fit well into the whole mode. I love this whole primitive, underground feel of it all. Buttgereit and the star Daktari Lorenz actually managed to make a likable character out of a necrophiliac. Poor Rob, he just couldn't get no satisfaction until his own unfortunate demise. And the "love" scenes were all consumed by these artsy blurs and twinkles. It's weird, but the most brutal scene in the movie seemed to be the documentary footage of a farmer skinning a rabbit. Finally, to top it off, the film's soundtrack was strangely compelling and evocative. "Nekromantik" is a pure underground cult classic, no doubt about it.
