Review of Aftermath (1994) by Chris . — 27 Nov 2008
The second entry in Nacho Cerdà 's Death Trilogy, Aftermath, is probably his most powerful and controversial work to have ever some out. This story focuses on a mortician in a morgue grossly mutilates and defiles a female corpse.
The sexual deviancy of necrophilia is so powerfully present, you could taste it, but Nacho always claimed it was a message on how much humiliation the body goes through after death has fallen upon it.
Be that as it may, there are seriously some tough moments in this very short film. Easily one of the most brutal things I've ever seen. Pep Tosar (as the mortician) is a perfect embodiment of fear, rage, and insanity.
Aftermath is a huge step up from The Awakening, and it really shows how Nacho has progressed as a writer/director in just a few short years.
