DOCUMENTARY
When people cluck their tongues, roll their eyes and say in
disgust, "They call this art?" they could be speaking sight unseen
about the work of Austrian painter and performance artist Hermann
Nitsch. Unflinchingly drawn to confront issues of death and
mortality, his works literally wallow in blood, horror, decay and
the reality of humans doomed to walk around in highly
corruptible mortal bodies. Though the film is definitely not for
everyone, HN HERMANN NITSCH offers a compelling portrait of the
very human person behind his grotesque "Theater of the Orgies and
Mysteries." Is what he does art? For those with an open mind, there
are two sides to that question, and Nitsch emerges as a fascinating
spokesman for the other side.
Graphic images, graphic subject matter.
