What better cure for writer's block than getting sucked into a vortex of drugs, men, and mystery? Between frolics and fights on Mexican beaches, nightclubs, and rooftops, Sebastián Silva and Jordan Firstman play two caricatures of themselves in this sexy and absurd meta-comedy.
"Rotting In The Sun is described as a 'black comedy thriller': to the viewer's great surprise, the satirical portrait of the privileged life of a gay director living in a gentrified neighborhood turns into a grueling, interminable labyrinth of anguish, amplified by Catalina Saavedra's silences, grimaces, hesitations, and retching. It's very strange to watch it, it's strange to feel such intense anxiety and, at the same time, die laughing." (Rivista Studio)
