SecondIt becomes smelly and hot, hot and rotten, everything becomes hot and sticky. This unique avant-garde work is a collaboration between writer and director Stefan Lernous and his colleagues result Slaughterhouse closed, A theater company based in Mechelen, a Flemish city in Belgium. It has a similar plot: there is a man named Dave (Tom Vermeir, like the others in the movie, his white makeup makes him look like a zombie) taking care of his family. An allegedly empty hotel, a well-designed full set A room full of mold, dirt, and dead things, all of which is being covered in a muddy semi-organic substance. Maybe the title is a clue that all this happened in some quasi-aquatic terrain, which could explain the abundance of tridents and fish tanks and other aquariums.
In any case, Dave is not alone. There are others in this damp hell. An invisible neighbor was watching some very noisy porn, and Dave communicated with him by shouting. A young woman named Nora (Anneke Sluiters) insists on renting a room; another husky woman (Ruth Beckquart) in fleshy pantyhose complains that she is bored with her “pointing and fingering” all day long. Dave’s angry yelling mother (Tania Van der Sanden) is by his side, Dave’s dead Aunt Lucy (Dark Lavreson) seems to have died on the sofa, only when Nora is careful When observing, she only noticed her changed state. Later, there were crazy parties, autopsy in the kitchen, and Dave lived in a glass cabinet all his life with a beautiful strawberry blonde and a ginger kid from a football team.
Maybe the Poseidon Hotel is someone’s nightmare or a three-dimensional model of Dave’s subconscious mind. But it is really rarely produced in terms of practical significance, and it is not completely pleasant to watch. But this film has a strange and undisputed integrity that needs and deserves admiration, especially the intricate design of art director Sven Van Kuijk, and the madness of screaming violin, echo, dialogue, and the sound of someone moving furniture. Collage from beginning to end.
