Agony
Directed by David Clay Diaz
Produced by Filmakademie Wien, BR
A bleak, methodical chronicle of a brutal murder and its aftermath, exploring the psychological darkness of a closeted homosexual's violent act.
On the 3rd of October a twenty-four-year-old student from Vienna kills his lover and chops up her corpse. Her torso is found in a dumpster, other body parts and the head are missing. There is no clue about the motive of the murder. A silent chronology of the events.
