The Hinterkaifeck Case

On March 31, 1922, a German family of six was brutally murdered on their farm located in Hinterkaifeck, a small village in Bavaria. The murders, which occurred under mysterious circumstances and with extreme violence, caused a sensation across Germany, and to this day, the case remains unsolved.

Begotten

Inside an abandoned house, a masked figure commits suicide with a razor. From his corpse emerges a woman (also masked) who masturbates the deceased until she becomes pregnant. She soon gives birth to a trembling, deformed humanoid: both will attempt to integrate into a tribe of hooded men but will be brutally raped and tortured, in an increasingly unbearable crescendo for the viewer.

Ryuichi Sakamoto has Died

Ryuichi Sakamoto has died, the great Japanese musician and composer who won the Academy Award in 1988 for the soundtrack of Bernardo Bertolucci’s film “The Last Emperor,” which he created with David Byrne and Cong Su. He was 71 years old. Japanese news agencies were the first to report the news of his passing. Last summer, Ryuichi Sakamoto—who had previously overcome throat cancer and rectal cancer in 2014—announced that he was suffering from stage four lung cancer, with slim chances of recovery. Among his most famous pieces is “Forbidden Colours,” part of the soundtrack for Nagisa Ōshima’s film “Furyo (Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence).”
