Chilean filmmaker Sebastian Silva’s latest, Rotting in the Sun, is a gonzo satire of our “content”-crazed age that is very, very NSFW
. Sebastian just wants to die, and before long he gets his wish, but not as he planned. Meanwhile, Catalina Saavedra steals the topsy-turvy show as a maid afraid of losing her job . It feels both jagged and loose, an off-the-cuff spleen-venting frolic that Buñuel might appreciate for its barbed-wire skewering of the privileged class. Sebastian begins the film despondent, reading Emil Cioran’s and publicly excoriating his dog for eating human feces.
He takes a friend’s advice and heads to a nude beach where all manner of gay bacchanalia is going down, and where he continues to read Cioran and hoover ketamine. This is where he encounters Firstman, gamely playing a noxious version of himself and hot to trot with his barely-formed project. Sebastian doesn’t like the guy, but he likes the money.
