Review of Nekromantik

Nekromantik (1988)
5/10
Disgusting and beautiful at the same time
29 July 2010
This is a movie about, as the title indicates, the love to the dead. A sort of perverted theme. And yes, it is a film with a lot of gore and a lot of disgusting dead meat. The weird thing about this movie is, that all this nastiness is filmed in a beautiful way – with beautiful music. This makes this film unusual and definitely needs an open mind to be watched. I personally liked the cheap synth-music the best. It suited the bad quality of the movie (which was filmed with a hi8 camera) perfectly. Combined this created a great and unusual atmosphere.

Sadly the movie is very exhausting to watch. And sometimes you get the idea, that the movie is all about living out a perversion. But then again, the movie asks interesting questions about humanity and life itself. One of many reasons why I consider this movie art and believe it's worth to watch – despite all the perversion and gore.
