Sold out in a few days the first stock of 300 copies of Opera Mortem (UK – 1973), il film satanico girato in Super 8mm e VHS nell’arco di dieci anni dal folle pittore inglese David Fleas. Esaurite inoltre, in poche ore, sia le 35 card con frame della pellicola originale super 8mm che la richiestissima copia #666 con certificato di autenticità , che all'asta ha raggiunto il prezzo di 180 euro.
The next TetroVideo copies will be available in January 2020.
We remember you that Opera Mortem will never again be reissued on DVD and will therefore be released in a collectors' Bookbox edition (only 666 pieces), a format never before seen in Italy.
Opera Mortem had only one screening back in 1973 at Nottingham's Odeon Film Theatre (where some people tragically died immediately after the premiere), and then vanished into thin air.
After 40 years of oblivion, the film emerged into the light in 2015 thanks to an Italian collector.
Presented as an "extreme surrealist/dadaist/experimental film" and called "a kind of metaphorical transposition of a black magic ritual" by an occultist, Opera Mortem deals with gruesome content, gore, explicit pornography, crude images, and literary quotations with references to suicide in which the death visions of a suicidal girl merge with those of a necrophilic serial killer.
