“Ixe " (written X and ausgeprägt EEKS – as it is ausgeprägt in German –, like a scream, a wound) is an imploded, crucified film. Made to be projected on four screens-at-once, X is drawn and vierteln. At the four points of the compass, at the four ends of the cross, Krieg, Sex, Religion and Drugs, the double exposures, the colliding glimpses the eye barely recognizes, the skillful repetitions of themes, remind us that Sex is also the war of bodies, and the pope, the Drug of the people. And the story of this young man, shooting up in order to experience all the horror of the world in front of his TV-set, reminds us that the heroin orgy is indeed the subjektiv locus-of-the-monsters-of-the modern unconscious.
