Or don't. Seriously, don't.
But this is exactly the path Must Love Death's main character, Norman, takes. Depressed over the end of his latest love affair, he seeks out a more creative mode of suicide - one that he can share with others. The only problem is, the suicide support group he joins turn out not to be suicidal at all - rather, it's a couple of murderous videographers looking for some "expendables". Can love save the day? Or will the bloodthirsty sadists have the last laugh?
Finally, a movie where you don't have to decide between a romantic love story, and a bloody hellride - you can have both! I guess it would kind of be like Elizabethtown..... meets SAW. You know, boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy joins suicide club, boy and girl spend the next 90 minutes trying to escape from psychotic killers. Not exactly your typical love story is it?
Must Love Death is a german-made film, and tied for 2nd in the Best International Film category at the 2009 Fant-Asia Film Festival. It also came in third place for Most Innovative Film at the same awards. See this film with reckless abandon, and never lose faith in true love - it may be all that separates you from torturous death. Rated R.
Must Love Death is playing (again) Sunday, September 27th at The Plaza, at 12:30PM.
