Holy Beasts

The diva Vera plans to make a film out of a script written by the late Dominican underground cult director Jean-Louis Jorge. Yet the tribute to her good friend already runs into difficulties in its early stages due to conflicts with the team and rampant loss of grip on reality. Jorge, who was in fact a real obscure filmmaker from the Dominican Republic only produced three feature films, all of which were mixtures of classic Hollywood pathos, melodramatic camp and a sleep-walking atmosphere. Holy Beasts is a love letter to this artist, cast with friends and contemporaries that surfed the underground of the 1970s just as Jorge did, amongst which is (of course) Udo Kier.
