WINNER · BEST FIRST FEATURE AWARD · FANTASIA FILM FEST
Taiwan is ravaged by Alvin: a rabies-esque virus that transforms ordinary people into psychotic, sadistic murdering mutilators. Amidst the mayhem on the streets, separated young couple Kat and Jim are pushed to the edge of sanity, each wading through figurative Olympic-sized swimming pools of blood and viscera, as they cross the hellish maelstrom of a ruined Taipei trying to reunite.
An unspeakably violent and unrelenting gore fest, often cartoonishly horrific, with lashings of humour and political satire, The Sadness doesn’t just go for the jugular, it shoots right through and splatters the wall behind. SWIFF doesn’t often give trigger warnings, but this film warrants all of them. Consider yourselves warned.
In Taiwanese Hokkein with English subtitles.
CONTAINS RIDICULOULSLY HIGH IMPACT VIOLENCE
