Nekromantik 2

I have seen that movie yesterday evening. It was a very interesting and absorbing experience. the first sequence depicts a suicide, alternating with the credits, a guy butchering is belly while ejaculating. so your are directly in the point. After that you have the story of a women who get his body back from the cemetery... and you have a whole allegory of a breaking up and a new love. She keeps the body in her apartment, meets a knew boy, tears the body into pieces and just keep the penis... in all those sequences we are on the verge of throwing up. it also alternates moments of true romance, while kissing, cleaning and finally sawing the body, with ironical or even wry sequences, for instance the wooing sequence (photo, ferris wheel, ice cream and the stripped underpants...), the bar discussion over what is a woman and the cinema sequence showing an experimental with 2 people on a devastated roof talking about ornithology and eating tons of eggs. the photography and the montage are very free and experimental. the music that alternate very fast creates a very special ambiance... a real strange experience

Well, the one thing I liked better about this movie, when comparing it to its predecessor, was that this movie had a more professional look over it. Because of this the movie also was more 'pleasant' to watch and easier to follow.

Yes, it made the movie and what it tried to achieve more understandable all. However this doesn't mean I liked the movie much though. The movie still remained a bad and tasteless one that uses simple and cheap gore to disgust the viewers.

It tries to set up its mood by building up things incredibly slow. It has many long, slow moving sequences and besides that the movie is also featuring sequences that just don't add enough to the movie and seem to be only put into it to disgust its viewers. How can you find some joy and entertainment in seeing a woman making love to a corpse a watch a the autopsy of a seal? I couldn't even watch that sequence since seals are my favorite animals.

As a sequel it also doesn't add enough. I mean, this movie basically features the same sort of story as the original. It has the same sort of sequences, though this movie succeeds better at it at trying to tell a story as well. Not that its much of a story though. Jörg Buttgereit tries to achieve much but succeeds at little. He also directed the original first movie, as well as some other German shockers, such as "Der Todesking" and "Schramm". He must have a real sick mind to make movies like this really and it's not like I can't handle any gore or disturbing sequences. The gorier the better really. This movie however just goes too far, even for my taste.

The acting is horrible within this movie. Just like in its predecessor they try to conceal this by giving the actors as little dialog as possible. I'm sure this movie would had been far worse when it featured more dialog, so it was a good choice really. Yes, it also adds well to the atmosphere and style of the movie, which basically prevented this movie from being a completely horrible one.

More watchable than the first movie but still mostly a movie of bad taste.

A strange film, but that's what I was looking for. It was interesting. At times, it even had a good soundtrack. I like films that aren't afraid to show something. In my opinion, that's what makes it most compelling and interesting. One moment it seems completely normal and romantic, but then it starts to get crazy again. The best part for me was the ending, which I really didn't expect and which put the icing on the cake. A strange distasteful thing, let's say. It can be a little boring at times, but it wasn't too long, so it flew by and I'm satisfied with the ending. The ending made it.

The original "Nekromantik" was great. Unfortunately, the sequel is pretty boring, but with one exception: its ending. I guess the whole film is sort of preparing for the grand finale, which is something else. Totally raw and brutal! Worth seeing just for that. The movie was actually seized by the authorities during its premiere.

A necrophiliac-thriller-drama-lovestory! This is by far less original movie than the first one (its a sequel, after all!). Basic difference is that it is realised from the female point of view. Some nice ideas and all. Whatever the case, it's worth it to see for the great ending alone (thats the case with part one, as well, but Nekromantik 1 is a much greater film if you ask me)
