Lothar Schramm, the so-called Lipstick Killer , lies dying in a pool of blood and paint. As he expires, fragments of his life flash before his eyes his uneasy friendship with the prostitute that lives next door (Nekromantik 2 s Monika M); the brutal slaughter of a pair of doorstep evangelists whose bodies he poses in obscene fashion; his unhealthy pastime of hammering nails into his own manhood. Told in an entirely non-linear fashion, Jörg Buttgereit s Schramm with its nightmarish hallucinatory sequences involving severed limbs and gaping, sharp-toothed female genitalia comes about as close as a film can get to transporting you directly into the world of a sick, disordered mind.

I won't claim that the movie "Schramm" impressed me, that I was blown away by it. It simply didn't. However, unlike other German authors of the early 90s, Jörg Buttgereit has one big advantage. It's not just about the disgust itself for him, but he tries to convey something. These thoughts may be twisted, but honestly - and that's the worst part - I can imagine that similar people simply exist, it can snap in them, and then we hear about them in the news.
