Nachtkatzen (De Noche Los Gatos Son Pardos)
CH 2022, 110 minutes, OV mit engl. UT
By: Valentin Merz
With: Bishop Black, Nataliea Portnoy
You just want to shoot an erotic horror film in the Jura pampas, far away from modern civilisation, and then this happens: the actors turn into zombies, the locations collapse, and then the director disappears and is found on the other side, in Mexico, as an embalmed corpse. An inspector is supposed to bring light into the jungle – one who seems to come straight out of a gay hardcore porno. Does that sound strange? It is, and one of the most original, imaginative and stimulating films of the year. Valentin Merz, lead actor from the Berlinale hit “Unrest”, has made an immoderate, polymorphously perverse horror-post-punk comedy with a sexually very diverse and international team. A film on the edge between reality and appearance that sets new standards for queer filmmaking. The film features many familiar faces from the Berlin scene, such as Bishop Black. Our discovery from the Rotterdam Film Festival! Here cinema becomes sexual practice!
