HORROTICA [Director's Cut Version] 2023

Directed by Gabriel Daniel Dorobantu · Drama · 63 min

A philosophic and psychological incursion into the vast and complex phenomenon of human passion and desire, from the specific angle of fetishism. If medical cases in general involve illness-related sadness, this film depicts the satisfaction of sadness. If one of the film characters is right when implying that medical fetishism does not involve a fulfillment of the intimate act itself, the film is depicting the sadness of dissatisfaction. The characters, in their respective doctor-patient / husband-wife relations (always defined by domination), are switching the dominating / dominated roles – implicitly pending between satisfaction and dissatisfaction, with sadness permanently present on one side or the other – while views, visions and perspectives are fulfilling important narrative functions, in an ambiguous visual combination of dream and reality (emphasizing the realism of dreams and the dream-like feeling of reality). https://www.dorobantu-tv.com/o
