The grandiose finale of Norbert Pfaffenbichler’s celebrated
2551
underground trilogy. After
The Orgy of the Damned
, in his quest, the masked, nameless ape-man traverses a post-apocalyptic universe populated by grotesque, garish, and disturbing creatures. Expressionist, silent-film aesthetics and industrial soundtrack merge to an audiovisual trip, which turns out to be the ultimate challenge. The end is near.
