“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”. Andy Warhol, 1968What is life? Is it the yearning of a lover, the fear of growing old, the rebellious struggle for a dignified death or the hunt for the most clicks? Is it maybe just a show?ROLAND REBER’S CABARET OF DEATH paints a multi-layered picture of existence and puts the taboo subject of death back in line into the circle of life.In various storylines a ruined relationship crosses paths with an old man begging for euthanasia, a live show featuring candidates who are mercilessly sacrificed to the audience, a dancer who cannot escape ageing despite her self-optimization and the one with the mask who craves to be famous at all costs. And between all this, a corpse driver rolls his “clients” through a long corridor and shares his very personal and unaffected thoughts about life and death. “An exceptional and extravagant viewing experience with high entertainment value.” (DEADLINE magazine) „A colourful miracle bag“ (filmstarts.de) „Delightful evil satire!“ (Kulturzeit 3sat tv) „A new Reber-film always is a bizarre kind of sensation.“ (SZ Extra)
