Description: Sometime in the near future, set in an apocalyptic, dying world: Raoul and Raphaela, a young and arrogant upper class couple, are visiting an art exhibition of surrealistic paintings, hosted by a group of young anarchists in their bizarre Loft flat. After making love secretly in an empty back room, they suddenly find themselves caught by the aggressive Gang and being tortured both psychological and physical by their diabolical punk leader Furio, who blames “their likes” of being responsible for the war that destroys the earth.

Review: When I watched this movie for the first time, i.e. when it was released in the 1980s on video tape, it was for Karl-Heinz von Liebezeit in the first place because I liked his performance in “Nacht der Wölfe” (1981) and here he plays Furio, the wildest one of the bad guys. “It’s war, a ritual”, he once explains what is the reason behind all the violence: “You attended our exhibition, but not one of you paid any attention to our pictures. We are our pictures, and they strike back when they’re insulted.” The whole movie was shot in one location, a gallery at Munich. The soundtrack is minimalistic, distorted, monotonous, disturbing, from a noisy background to the synthetic sounds of the 1980s which seem so cheap today – but it is extremely effective insofar as the audience feels uneasy.
