Nekromantik
dir. Jörg Buttgereit · 1988
Exploring the boundaries of love and desire can lead to a disturbing obsession with death and the macabre.
Robert, a cleaner at a death cleanup agency, brings home a decaying corpse to share with his girlfriend, Betty. The film immerses viewers in a world where love and death intertwine in grotesque ways, challenging societal norms and personal boundaries.
Sharing a mutual fascination for the dead, and the macabre, the Berlin misfits, Betty and Robert, are in for a big surprise that will soon broaden their horizons when Rob takes a job as a cleaner at an aftermath clean-up agency. Little by little, right under everyone's noses, the obsessed new employee amasses a rich and grotesque collection of severed limbs and human organs, and what is even more fascinating, their dreams will finally come true when Rob brings home a putrid cadaver to amaze his girlfriend. But, can Robert handle this bizarre and gruesome ménage a trois?
