Movie Reviews of Aftermath/Genesis
Movie Review: Repulsive Yet Lyrical
Summary: 3 Stars
There are many things that can be said about Nacho Cerda's "Death Trilogy" most of them having to do with the shockingly brutal Aftermath but viewed as a whole the trilogy is surprisingly artistic and lyrical. Unearthed Video presents all three shorts with a wealth of supplements on a one disc special edition.
The Awakening (1991) starts the series. This is an eight minute student film shot in grainy black and white. The theme of the film is the physical sensation of dying. Time stands still, moments of your life pass by, one sees the physical body as it dies and finally there is peace represented by a calling angel.
Aftermath (1994) is probably the single most controversial film of the last 20 years. This film deals with what happens to the body after death while in the hands of the coroners. This film shows in graphic detail the desecration that happens to the body of a young woman killed in an auto accident. This film is not for the weak of heart and will haunt your dreams. Despite its subject matter it does have redeeming qualities and is excellently made.
Genesis (1998) deals with those left behind to grieve. In it an artist tries to make the perfect statue of his deceased love one only to find himself turning to stone in his attempts. The film is haunting and lyrical in its beauty compared to the outright brutality of Aftermath.
The presentation by Unearthed is surprisingly good for such extreme material. There are a good selection of bonus materials including commentaries by Cerda on each of the films; extensive storyboard sequences on each of the films and some photo galleries. The materials for Aftermath are the most extensive and include several interviews with the director including a 45 minute audio interview conducted for the Montreal film festival.
Altogether an interesting presentation for those who can stomach it.
Summary of Aftermath/Genesis
Aftermath: A woman dies tragically in an automobile accident but the true horror awaits her after death. What happens to the body after the spirit has moved on and the corpse is at the mercy of those who manhandle the dead? What manner of creature is it that tears our bodies apart only to put them back together again? Whether we like it or not, we are all at the mercy of the coroners knife and the abuse and indignities we suffer are strictly up to him. Genesis: A sculptor is traumatized by the death of his wife in a car accident. He builds a sculpture in her memory. As the lifelike sculpture begins to bleed through the cracks of clay, the sculptor's flesh mutates and crumbles away.Horror DVD Video
