EGOMANIA – ISLAND WITHOUT HOPE

Christoph Schlingensief calls for a charge on the moribund cinema of the FRG, and brings together two key actors of the 20th century: Udo Kier and Tilda Swinton, trapped on an icy island in the North Sea. The ice floes loom, witches shriek, and Helge Schneider sings. EGOMANIA – INSEL OHNE HOFFNUNG is an experience that you have to battle through, and in which you should lose yourself: visions and madness, an appropriation of dark romanticism with punk means. Wild and free and utterly fantastic.
