Un obrero ejemplar es enterrado con su carnet laboral en reconocimiento a sus méritos, pero su viuda no puede cobrar la pensión sin ese documento. El sobrino del difunto vive alucinantes aventuras para recuperar el carnet de la tumba de su tío. "Un golpe de ataúd en tierra es algo perfectamente serio", escribió Antonio Machado, y lo es siempre que el cadáver no arrastre consigo sus documentos de identidad en medio de un remolino burocrático, porque entonces se desata el absurdo. Esta película es una sátira social que disfruta denunciando un viejo mal, sus consecuencias y derivaciones, con el desenfado que caracteriza el humor criollo y caribeño. (FILMAFFINITY)

Anger discusses his Aleister Crowley-inspired theories of art: How he views his camera like a wand and how he casts his films, preferring to consider his actors, not human beings but as elemental spirits. In fact, he reveals that he goes so far as to use astrology when making these choices. This is as direct an explanation of Anger’s cinemagical modus operandi as I have ever heard him articulate anywhere. It’s a must see for anyone interested in his work and showcases the Magus of cinema at the very height of his artistic powers. Fascinating. (Dangerous Minds)

"Normal Porn for Normal People" is an appropriated media piece that explores our societal need to consume violence for entertainment. The film offers a satirical commentary on the romanticizing and normalization of violent imagery, while observing the link to commercial consumerism that exploits human sexuality, while simultaneously demonizing it. Interview segments echo our endless need to devour salacious content by venerating both real and fictional violence. Sexuality and sexual images remain a convenient scapegoat that facilitate a continued avoidance regarding the impact that the glorification of violence has within American culture.
