Si algo no tiene este blog es una pizca de intolerancia. Es más, nunca, bajo ninguna circunstancia hemos ofendido a nadie por sus preferencias sexuales, ni ideológicas. Pero ahora que piensan que sí, aprovecho la oportunidad para postear algo que no dice sino todo lo contrario.
Este año, Bruce LaBruce está haciendo con el zombie cinema lo que quizá Eon McKai hizo con la pornografía de formato juvenil en su momento. Otto; o, Up With Dead People es un controvertido filme "post-gay" sobre zombies en el que con características propias del cine macabro y de horror, LaBruce nos narra la siguiente historia:
A young zombie named Otto appears on a remote highway. He has no idea where he came from or where he is going. After hitching a ride to Berlin and nesting in an abandoned amusement park, he begins to explore the city. Soon he is discovered by underground filmmaker Medea Yarn, who begins to make a documentary about him with the support of her girlfriend, Hella Bent, and her brother Adolf, who operates the camera. Meanwhile, Medea is trying to finish "Up with Dead People," the epic political-porno-zombie movie that she has been working on for years. She convinces its star, Fritz Fritze, to allow the vulnerable Otto to stay in his guest bedroom. When Otto discovers that there is a wallet in his back pocket that contains information about his past, before he was dead, he begins to remember a few details, including memories of his ex-boyfriend, Rudolf. He arranges to meet him at the schoolyard where they met, with devastating results.Otto se estrenó mundialmente como parte de la selección oficial del Sundance Film Festival y el Berlin International Film Festival.
Sin duda, además del homoerotismo y la estética empedernidamente gore que inundan este trailer, lo mejor es el tema de CocoRosie que utilizaron de fondo. So, so, ad-hoc, indeed.
