Rupture

The film is about the animality that lies latent in the act of sex, and focuses on love and eroticism as a bodily, transcending act. Love and the experience of loss is given concrete physical expression in the film through blood, vomit, sweat and tears. wonderful "Rupture" is far from the more progressive action of a classic film, it is built around an atmospheric intensification that gradually builds to finally release. Both in the action and on the sound side, the film uncovers extreme moods from the swaying, meditative to the uncomfortable and transgressing.
