Songs of the Standing Dead

Au pays des morts debout

Overview

This is the trans dystopian commune we are all dying to visit. Living gleefully in the French countryside, these queers are sent spiralling when a newbie arrives. The film grapples with the myths of queer utopia by tearing it apart. Echoing post-horror aesthetics and manipulating genre tropes in meaty ways, this is a poetic joyride to the underworld that never loses its glamour amid plenty of gore.
