Lustmord

satô’s films often play out like experiments. video experiments, as i like to call them. and this one highlights his films’ experimental nature as it’s about a literal, scientific experiment. and it’s repulsive. instantly wanted this one off my conscience (i’m writing this a few weeks later because it’s not the kind of film you willingly reflect upon right away. i kind of just accepted that my night was ruined and went to bed). the roughly-one-hour timeframe of the pinku film works perfectly with satô’s style. a short, sharp and concise hypothesis and result. and the ending… 😬 again, its pinku so some parts drag on. it’s to be expected. but regardless its very well made. just grueling. great restoration!
