Filmmaker
Valentin Javier Diment joins the ranks of 'Cine Extreme' directors
with this uncompromising movie. Through his boldly graphic display of
unconventional images, he weaves his quirky tale of terror, nurtured by
frustration of loss and a sense of helplessness. In recent years, Argentinean
cinema has emerged as the new hotbed of Horror (see Daniel de la Vega's
WHITE
COFFIN or BLOOD
BROTHERS, and I'LL
NEVER DIE ALONE from Adrian Garcia Bogliano). But the Cine
Extreme phenomenon is best characterized by the brutal cinema of France
(MARTYRS,
SEQUELLE,
FRONTIERS),
Germany (DARD
DIVORCE,MELANCHOLY
OF ANGELS, K3)
and Japan (BLOOD
SISTERS, GROTESQUE,
ALL
NIGHT LONG 6: ANYONE AT RANDOM).
