Volume 2 of our Top Rated Transmissions dives deeper into the esoteric and the European avant-garde. The films curated and embedded within this section blur the lines between art-house cinema and unrelenting body horror. Directors like Claire Denis, Marina de Van, and Jörg Buttgereit have spent their careers pushing the cinematic form into territories that most mainstream audiences consider fundamentally unwatchable. Yet, beneath the blood and the bodily fluids, lies profound philosophical inquiry.
To understand why these films hold such a high rating within our archive, one must look past the transgressive facade. The curation process relies on identifying works that demonstrate immense formal audacity. For example, In My Skin (Dans Ma Peau) is not merely a film about self-mutilation; it is an incredibly intimate, agonizing portrayal of dissociation and female identity. By locating and embedding these films, Sharing The Sickness provides a permanent digital sanctuary for art that algorithms typically suppress or erase.
Did you know? During the 2001 Cannes Film Festival premiere of Claire Denis' Trouble Every Day, the graphic nature of the cannibalistic love scenes caused mass walkouts, fainting, and audible shouting from the audience. The film was viciously attacked by critics at the time, only to be reappraised a decade later as a seminal work of modern French cinema. Furthermore, to achieve the unsettling realism in In My Skin, director and lead actress Marina de Van utilized real animal meat and skins layered over her own body during the self-cannibalism sequences, adding a tangible, grotesque texture that CGI could never replicate.
