''The Day Of The Purple Sun'': The cosmos of the incurable Margarethe. Her journey through the mysteries of the Egypt underworld. Will she be coming forth by day?

Margarethe von Stern in 'The Day of the Purple Sun': Part I (2017)

THE DAY OF THE PURPLE SUN: PART II We begin with the conclusion of Part I with Margarethe Von Stern brought for mummification by (Carsten Frank looking rather &#39;Marilyn Manson&#39;; painted black, clad in corset, stockings and &#39;snout&#39; mask particularly &#39;Lynchian&#39; as) Anubis Egypt&#39;s patron embalming deity. Once wrapped in linen binding she undergoes the &#39;Opening of the Mouth&#39; ceremony (by which the soul, or &#39;ka&#39;, may leave the body) and is then entombed in the cellar where she faces the true ordeal that waits beyond death. Sublime cinematic poetry with ancient mystical themes in a contemporary setting evoking the writings of Hanns Heinz Ewers (ALRAUNE) and Gustav Meyrink (DER GOLEM, GRUNE GESICHT, WALPURGISNACHT). Special mention also to the ambient score by &#39;Maggy Moon&#39; with a variety of guitar strings and riffs echoed, mixed and harmonized with creaking doors, dripping water and crackling flame into a soundtrack that often resembles the ground-breaking work of Karlheinz Stockhausen and Bernard Parmegiani. Looking forward to HAND AN MARGARETHE LEGEN/PENETRATING BONES :)
