Der TodeskingDer Todesking (1990)
Directed by Jorg ButtgereitJorg Buttgereit week continues. In this installment, we bring you the review of Der Todesing (aka The Death King).
IMDB Plot Vault:Seven episodes, each taking place on a different day of the week, on the theme of suicide and violent death.
Yup. Suicide and death. That's it in a nutshell.
This is one of the better Jorg movies as it done so cleanly and though filled with violent imagery and sick and twisted scenes of suicide, it's slickly metaphoric about the graphic subject matter it's showing.
As mentioned, each day of the week shows a suicide and death and the precursor or aftermath of each. Let's go through each of them shall we?
Courtesy of Wikipedia.Monday A man comes home, phones his boss to resign from his job, writes mysterious letters, cleans his apartment and swallows poison in his bathtub. His death is simultaneous with the death of his fish, the only being that was close to him.
