Making his feature film debut, Hèctor Hernández Vicens’ THE CORPSE OF ANNA FRITZ is undoubtedly about to leave an impression at this year’s SXSW Film Festival (for better or worse) with his necrophilia-fueled tale. It definitely walks that fine line of being shocking just for the sake of it, but we’ll see what kind of reception it gets after its premiere. The trailer is below and it’s slightly NSFW.
The synopsis:
Anna Fritz is a very famous and beautiful actress, considered one of the most desired women in the world. Suddenly, she dies. Pau works as an orderly at the hospital where Anna Fritz was taken to. Pau is a shy and introverted youth. Often, when the body of a young woman is brought to the morgue, he can’t resist watching her. When he enters the morgue with the corpse of Anna Fritz, he takes a picture of her naked body and sends it to his friend Ivan. Ivan and Javi are Pau’s only friends, and go visit him at the hospital. They are a little drunk and Ivan wants to see the naked body of Anna Fritz. She is there… They can’t lose this opportunity.
THE CORPSE OF ANNA FRRITZ will see its World Premiere at SXSW on Sunday, March 15th as part of the Midnight’s lineup.
