Nekromantik 2 (1991) review

More "female friendly" (if that's possible) sequel to the original Nekromantik, with a nurse (Monika M.) digging up the deceased protagonist from the first film and finding pleasure in his sticky stillness - when a new boyfriend enters the picture, it's your 'traditional' love triangle done ... un-traditionally (I guess the joke is that a live boyfriend can't compete with a dead one). The production values are different than the first one, and the tone is different - this one is more accessible, while the other was closer to the underground cinema of, say, Richard Kern or Nick Zedd, although by 'accessibility,' I'm not inferring that this is for a general audience, as the ending is wild and over-the-top, and most will find the picture disturbing. I laughed a lot, however, because I have a warped sense of humor and find Buttgereit to be something of a dark joker - the film-within-a-film, which has two nude adults eating hard-boiled eggs and talking about birds, is a nice little gag about art cinema in general.
