Product Description

Product Description

Fresh from his grave, confused young gay zombie Otto has memory problems, so he goes in search of the truth in the seedy underground art squats and S&M clubs of present day Berlin. It is here that he meets crazy avant-garde lesbian filmmaker Medea and her girlfriend Hella, who both encourage him to star in their political horror porn movie. However, things get complicated when Otto discovers he had a dishy ex-boyfriend, Rudolf, and pines of rekindling their relationship. Will Otto find his old flame? And if he does, how will he resist eating him!?

Packed with oodles of undead gay sex and outrageous zombie satire, Otto; or, Up With Dead People is Bruce LaBruce's most audacious piece of cult cinema yet.

Extras: Deleted scenes.

Format: DVD
I have long been an devoted admirer of Bruce LaBruce's work, and for me, "Otto; or Up With Dead People" is unquestionably his finest piece yet. That said, this film is absolutely *not* going to appeal to everyone.

In a film-within-a-film, Medea Yarn is making an indie political-gay-zombie movie, with the aid of her girlfriend, Hella Bent, and her brother Adolf. The setting: the not-too-distant future, where the undead are commonplace, and in particular the homophile undead. Otto, a young zombie, is subliminally drawn to Berlin, and onto the set of Medea's movie, where he is quickly cast into a lead role...though the cast don't believe that he is a 'real' zombie, and think he's just living the role. Otto has flashbacks to his life before he joined the ranks of the undead, but can't remember how or why it happened ("I was a zombie with an identity crisis"). He is isolated, persecuted, lonely, displaced, shunned even by conformist-gays...and has come to the anonymity of the city for refuge. He is housed by one of the other cast members, Fritz, who is evidently attracted to him. Will Otto find love, sanctuary...assimilation?

At the level of the image, the viewer may find enough (highly-explicit) male/male action, and gory entrails-eating (you'll need a strong stomach), to keep him/her watching...though ultimate satisfaction will perhaps be elusive, since there will be no 'final resolution'; and the boy-meets-zombie, boy-and-zombie-fall-in-love, boy-loses-zombie, boy-finds-zombie, story arcs do not play out as expected. I can imagine that at this level, the viewer might ultimately disdain the film...and I fully expect reviews to that effect.

However, this is a LaBruce film, and as such it is a far more nuanced, artistic experience.

Was dying to see this yet waited as was unsure about the whole real sex and whether it would be like a porno lol It wasn't the sex is quite unoffensive and i liked the way it poked fun of itself and allowed me as a viewer to be myself. Some art house films are so dam serious they don't give you a break OTTO does! Would not be for everyone its a cult film and you could say it is a piece of art as well. I think its one of the better gay themed films that's been made. So if you a alternative gay man like myself watch it!

What the hell did some of these reviewers watch??? I hate when I waste money money on crap films like this! I own more than 3500 films on bluray and dvd and threw this away... I feel like I should've been paid to watch this... and would probably still feel robbed!
