"Rotting in the Sun" is a surprising and irreverent film that plunges viewers into a narrative reminiscent of a "gay and twisted brother of Parasite (2019)." It's regrettable that major studios were afraid to distribute it. It delves into sensitive themes, portraying the life of a drug-addicted, homosexual actor/painter and their complex relationships, shedding light on a depressive environment.
The film doesn't shy away from critiquing social media dependence, digital influencers, volatile relationships, generational differences, and class distinctions. A surprising plot twist keeps the audience engaged, and the movie excels at character development and humanizing its cast.
With metalinguistic elements, "Rotting in the Sun" criticizes the film industry, exposing its flaws and distorted priorities. Impressive performances by Jordan Firstman, Sebastián Silva, and especially Catalina Saavedra leave a lasting impact, with Saavedra's portrayal being particularly powerful... And funny, sometimes.
The film's unconventional approach offers a unique experience, breaking away from predictable formulas and delivering memorable moments. However, it includes explicit nudity and graphic sexual content, which might not be suitable for all audiences. Some viewers may also find the plot twist abrupt, leading the narrative in a different direction.
