Holy Shit!

There is no greater pleasure than seeing the misery of others – especially if somebody is bogged down in more shit than yours truly. We have sucked the mucky gem Holy Shit! out of a bottomless, musty hole called Cannes. Right here Lukas Rinker’s sensory-packed debut bubbled up to us, bringing together the impossible: Cast Away, MacGyver and even Phone Booth. Their German schmutzig rendition comes up with a nightmare about an architect Frank who finds himself trapped in a porta-potty, sticky with blood, sweat and other smelly fluids. He has only half an hour before his boss Horst (Gedeon Burkhard) blows up the honey bucket. Holy shit! is a grab-you-by-the-throat intense, well-crafted survival that flushes itself with gushing streams of incontinence humour of the lowest order. (The Shockproof Film Festival)
