Content:
"The second feature film from German provocateur Jörg Buttgereit [...] presents seven suicides across seven days of the week. As a chain letter from the self-proclaimed Brotherhood of the 7th Day circulates encouraging its recipients to end their lives, a series of grim murder-suicides unfold. In one vignette, a young woman massacres a room of concert-goers before turning the gun on herself; in another, a man, driven to madness by some unspecified mental disturbance, repeatedly slams his head into a wall before collapsing in a pool of his own blood. [...]." Regarded by many as director Jörg Buttgereit s most accomplished work, "Der Todesking" is an existential masterpiece - a powerfully haunting howl of rage from one of the genre s most underrated filmmakers."
