Flesh of the Void

Flesh of the Void offers us to "experience" our death. More precisely, the after. Like a wandering soul, the camera takes the viewer into an apocalyptic, phantasmagorical vision, yet so close to our world. I loved immersing myself in this melancholy universe, filled with bitterness and suffering, but also enjoyment (suffering = enjoyment = suffering, and so on). I remember some fascinating paintings. It's really a diorama, and navigation is done in a natural, immersive way.

From a technical point of view, the use of altered 8MM film was able to transform typical landscapes into hellish visions. I find that black and white is particularly interesting for the afterlife. You will meet original characters, you will wonder what their story can be... There are almost creatures too (sometimes we no longer know exactly what we are observing thanks to the dominant grain). Lots of possibilities for interpretation, including concerning the religious beings who wander around.

I highly recommend it, and I think it's a good gateway to discovering experimental/underground cinema.
