She Is Conann

After the radical and kinky flicks Wild Boys (2017) and After Blue (Paradis Sale, 2021), the exterminator of midcult taste, poet and leacher, cinematic alchemist and beau Bertrand Mandico has sublimated his own essence of Robert E. Howard, whose stiff must be spinning in his molded grave after the Cannes premiere of She Is Conann (2023). In Mandico's hot queer extravaganza, the divine Elina Löwensohn stars as the dog-headed demon Rainer, who narrates from the Underworld a dark tale of the heroine Conann and her six transformations across human epochs. From Conann's early childhood as a barbarian slave to the neon-tinged 1980s, where the monstrous boomboxes clank alongside the shining swords. Delight your senses with a surreal fantasy that takes pride in cannibalism, torture, perverse sex, blood and guts and lots and lots (lots) of glitter!
