In April of this year I know about this film thanks to a gay-themed blog that I frequent often because it gives recommendations of gay films from many parts of the world and when I saw the poster and read the synopsis of Playdurizm I was fascinated to see it, I looked it up and watched it and from that moment on I loved it (believe me, you can be charmed by a movie just by watching it once) but I decided not to write a review about it and I better wait to watch it again to try to express my ideas and to know what to say about it.
It all starts when a young man named Demir…

e eh só isso que vou comentar nesse... ficou pessoal d+ -
I've seen this movie 3 hours ago and I still don't know what to write here. I feel mostly conflicted because I liked the premisse and the concept, but at the same time, the execution fell flat in so many different ways.
Even if I prefer Gem Deger as a director, rather than an actor, the movie has an unclear objective, although a lot of times we can be grasp what the plot is trying to convey. At the same time, there are scenes that didn't quite fit the plot. I also didn't understand the fear of showing male nudity in a film that's all about body, it felt weird and censored somehow. Still, the visuals were good and the music was great most of the time. The acting was below average, though, which was quite distracting.

"Can't you just bury her?"
"I don't do spades."Truly a WTF experience with:
- alternate realities
- a coming out
- murders
- lots of drugs
- a pet piglet as a roommate
- snuff movies
- lots of amateur suturing
- and lots of other weird stuffThe audio wasn't that great, so maybe I missed a bit, but what I heard didn't impress me that much...

An ode to fiction as a refuge, a true oasis of possibilities within material reality; may art save us (a little), when nothing else seems possible to do it

🌈☠️⚧️ SOHOME HORROR PRIDE 2021 ⚧️☠️🌈
Now you're playing with power!
A film that bends the limits of the mind and body. The Videodrome comparisons are oh-so-accurate. This is a gorgeous, energetic and deeply erotic picture full of murder, madness and mood lighting, plus the occasional healthy dose of disgusting body horror. Also, neon vomit. Lots and lots of neon vomit.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a film which flips so quickly from being deeply comforting and passionately intimate to devastating and heartbreaking in such a short time to such incredible effect. Fair warning in advance, the ending to this is one of the most upsetting and hard-to-watch of, well... any films that I've seen. I cried. I cried…

—☢️ 🧟 Spooky Season 2022 Film #46 🧟 ☢️—
This is what happens when a sad, gay 20-something who spends all of his time in his room playing Gregg Araki movies on a loop, gets to make and star in a movie and cast the guy he's in lust with as his co-star. I wish it were half as fun as that sounds.

I fell asleep during the gay sex scene, a moment where the infantile Demir (director Gem Deger) rolls around with the hunky Andrew (Austin Chunn) in a syrupy pool of blood, and that should speak volumes. Deger certainly has vision, though, with neon pop aesthetic, but he needs focus... and a lead other than himself, because his voice is giving Lenny and Squiggy.
